VSC Updates and Information

2024 Subject Selections  

Last week Year 8-10 have had a student assembly to explain the process of selecting subjects. Year 11 had their presentation at lunch on Tuesday July 18.  These presentations have been recorded and posted on the website so that parents can be informed of all of the relevant information.  

We conducted our subject selection Expo for students in Year 10 – 11 and 9-10. On Wednesday July 19th in Period 3 and 4. 

Web Preference (our software program that students enter their subject choices in) will open on Friday July 21st.  

Year 9-10 and 10 -11 students will have an individual course counselling session with a staff member at the college in Week 3 or 4 in term 3. 

Students will need to make their subject choices and submitted them on the Web Preferences site by Wednesday August 9th. 

Students in Year 9 who are eligible to selected an Advanced Placement subject (Unit 1 /2) received an email next week.  

Immunisations

The Secondary School Immunisation Program (SSIP) offers free vaccines provided through the National Immunisation Program (NIP) for all Year 7 and Year 10 students. Your child may have missed these vaccinations given at school over the past 3 years due to absence or Covid disruptions.

The vaccines that your child should have received:

Year 7 – Diphtheria, Tetanus and Pertussis

Human Papillomavirus

Year 10 - Meningococcal ACWY

Please note: For students attending Year 10 in 2023, Council may not have attended your school as yet for immunisation. Please ensure you return the consent card if you wish for your child to receive vaccinations on this day. If council has already attended your school for vaccinations and consent was not provided, please contact the number below to book an appointment.

If you are unsure of your child’s immunisation status you can check their Immunisation History by following these simple steps 

1. Sign into your myGov account at https://my.gov.au or calling the Australian Immunisation Register on 1800 653 809

2. Go to Medicare

3. Select View History - You and your child/ren under 14 on your Medicare card will show up here.

Please note children over 14 years need to sign into their own myGov account.

If your child has not completed the vaccinations or you are unsure, please contact Council’s Environmental Health Unit on 9262 6197 to book an appointment. Session details are on Whitehorse City Council’s website.

Yours sincerely
