YEAR 12 GRADUATION

Our Year 12 students are about to enter their final week of classes and for the majority of them, this culminates six years of schooling with us. For those sitting exams in the coming weeks we wish them well and we hope they are rewarded for their consistent efforts. Others are moving directly into the workforce, and they are well prepared for the next challenges in their future. The Graduation Assembly is an annual highlight on the school calendar, and parents, family and friends are most welcome to join us in the Visy Centre next Thursday 20th October at 9am to farewell our 2016 graduates.

Planning for the end of year “Activities Program” has commenced and these events will take place from Monday 12th December to Thursday 15th December. Students have had an opportunity to select either full day or half day activities, some of which are free and others will incur a cost. All Year 7 to 9 students are expected to take part in the end of year activities and we look forward to your support with this program.

VMG & VCE/VCAL SELECTIONS FOR 2017

Students have recently finished their unit selections for Semester 1 next year. Thank you to all parents who took the time to support their children with this process. We are happy to take any feedback that will see this further improve in the future. Please contact Mr Tanner at the school with any comments or questions.
