End of Year Exams

Well done to our Unit 3 & 4 VCE students.  I am very proud of the level of focus and maturity displayed by our students. These exams conclude on 16th November. We wish all students well as they strive to achieve their goals. 

This week, our Year 10 and 11 exams began.  Students have been studying hard to revise and prepare. This is an opportunity for students to showcase their knowledge and understanding. Thank you to Mrs Kelly Krieg, Ms Georgie Kios, Ms Cat Glenn and staff for their assistance. 

Our 2023 Year 7 information Evening was held this week. It was great to see many interested families visiting our college, hearing more about our new and exciting learning opportunities and seeing first hand our new and enhanced learning spaces, including our state of the art STEAM Centre.

The years’ Valedictory dinner will take place at The Grand, Cathies Lane, Wantirna on the evening of Wednesday 23rd November.  The completion of 13 years of schooling is a wonderful achievement.
