Year 11/12
Assistant Principal News
Term 3 has been an extremely busy time for students in Years 10 to 12. They have been finalising numerous assessment tasks, considering post school pathways, entering competitions and attending various seminars. Some of the Year 10 students have also been showcasing the skills they have learnt in various electives through various lunchtime activities.
The Year 12’s will spend the first week of these holidays undertaking practice exams. These exams are an important tool for providing various sources of feedback to students and teachers. The exams are supervised by our Chief Examination Supervisor and will mirror the end of year VCAA exams in terms of length and structure. Students are required to wear school uniform.
Just a reminder that when school resumes on the 8th October, students will be required to wear summer uniform. Please ensure that if any additional uniform items are required that these are purchased during the break. If you need any clarification on the uniform please refer to Policy located on school website.
I wish all Year 10, 11 & 12 students and their families a very safe break and I look forward to working with you all in Term 4.

Well Done to Chloe Kandetzki of Year 11 who performed on Saturday in the Victorian State Schools Spectacular as one of the Principal Vocalist! After 8 months of preparation and every weekend rehearsing, Chloe was one of the 3000 students selected, being part of 5 songs and singing in 3. Her favourite song was Street Life which she sang as a duet said she loved everything about being in the performance. The show was even more special as she celebrated her birthday on the day!
The State Schools Spectacular will be televised on Chanel 7 in early December and Chloe is already looking forward in auditioning next year. Well done on an amazing performance!

Elevate Sessions:
Students attended their final Elevate session for the year this week. We hope that over the course of these sessions students picked up some important strategies around exam preparation, study tips and tricks, time management skills and how to be better organised and prepared for exams.
With only 1 week of scheduled classes to complete, the VCE students are starting to feel the enormity of what they are about to complete. It is going to be a pretty hectic and emotional week for some of the students, so if you notice any behaviours in your child that is out of the norm, please have a conversation with them, or contact the school and let us know.
TERM 4
When VCE students return they will have two and half weeks left. The first two weeks are normal classes and then their final week will consist of only three days of scheduled activities, including a Celebration Day at Tree Tops.
A timetable of the week will be handed out to students before the end of term.
