Year 10 Camp
The recent camp to Central Australia went off without a hitch and was an amazing experience for all involved.
Well done everybody for making the camps so wonderful. A fantastic time was had by all and the students were a credit to the school.
Year 10 Captains
Dear friends and students, on Tuesday 3 May our Year 10's were set to compete in our annual Cross Country around Lilydale Lake. Unfortunately due to weather conditions our Cross Country had to be rescheduled to Friday 6 May.
Our school also did exceptionally well in the inter school Motocross competition and all the students that competed should feel very proud of their efforts.

Keys Please
Year 10 students
Monday 25 July
Periods 1 & 2
On Monday 25 July, your son/daughter will take part in a VicRoads Keys Please session. Whether or not they already have their Ls, this session will inform them of everything they need to know about making the most of the learner driver period.
Good drivers aren’t born. They are made. And the best way to become a good driver is to get plenty of driving experience.
The Keys Please student program covers:-
- Why 120 hours of driving practice?
- Importance of the partnership between supervising driver (parent) and learner driver (student)
- Stages of learning to drive
- Staying safe on your P's
- Resources that are available for Learner Drivers/Supervising Drivers
There is also an online parent/supervising driver resource to watch by going to www.vicroads.vic.gov.au and searching “Lessons from the Road”.

It is imperative that students attend Home Group Assembly to receive important information.
Students who arrive late for school must provide a note from a parent/guardian.
