Senior School Report
At this time in the school year, we are leading up to final examinations for our Year 11 and Year 12 students.

Year 12 VCE students did their ‘Practice Exams’ during the second week of Term 4 when they returned to onsite learning. Students got a ‘taste’ of where they are at with their studying and what sort of preparation is ahead of them leading up to the final exams.
On Monday, 26 October and Wednesday, 28 October, the Year 12 VCAL students will have their interviews where they will show cased their folios for the time they were in the VCAL program. They will discuss with the panel members the skills, knowledge and experience they gained in the program, especially working during the pandemic, and what they plan to do in 2021.
