Year 9 studying a VCE subject
Year 9 and 10 students attended Orientation classes for their 2017 course subjects and received their holiday homework from each subject.
A reminder to all students that it is a requirement of Year 11 to complete this homework, as it will be due on the first day back next year.
Also, a reminder that teachers will still be at school until December 19, so if there are any areas of confusion with Holiday Homework students MUST contact their teacher. This homework is the preparation for your Year 11 studies, and it is important that you make the best start possible.
