Year 10 Meningococcal Vaccine

Year 10 students were vaccinated on Friday 18 August by the team from Banyule Council. If your child was absent they will need to see their GP or book into a vaccination session at Banyule Council. 

Year 10 CAT Redemption Session

In order to support our Year 10 students to achieve success in their Year 10 studies and preparedness for VCE, Senior School is implementing a Year 10 CAT (Common Assessment Task) Redemption Session after school on selected Thursdays throughout the term from 3:15pm – 4:25pm in rooms 321/322. 

Year 10 students will be booked into this session if:

• They have missed a CAT in class due to being absent for either medical or school approved activities such as excursion, camp, school sport, music or other extra-curricular activities.
   
• The CAT that was submitted has not satisfactorily met the requirements of the task. In this case a redemption task will be given to provide another opportunity for the student to demonstrate their understanding of key knowledge and skills being assessed. 

The CAT redemption session will appear on the student's Compass schedule. We encourage students with part-time employment to allow for this when advising their employer of their availability.  Please contact the relevant Year 10 Coordinator if you have any further questions.
