Year 7 News  

Vermont Secondary College

Welcome Back!

We hope you all had a relaxing break and have returned ready for all that Term 4 has to offer. 

It was great to see so many Year 7 students and families making time to discuss their academic progress with classroom teachers at the Student Progress Conference and reflect on the work that has been accomplished and to set goals for the remainder of this year. 

 

Preparations for 2023

 A further reminder also that Student Managers are in the process of organising class groups for next year. Our goals in mixing the groups is to further develop and maximise students’ academic capacity, social capabilities, as well as general wellbeing and resilience. Students can expect considerable changes to class groupings, within the confines of the House system.  We welcome parent input and consider your feedback along with students and of course the classroom teachers. Please email the Student Manager with any concerns you have. 

 

Transition to 2023 Classes

In addition to grouping students for the 2023 school year, it is important to note that our Year 7 classes will commence the 2023 academic year on Monday November the 28th. The Transition program will run for two weeks and is part of the overall school program which students will experience during their time at VSC as they progress through the school years. 

In preparation for this Friday, 25th of November will be a Staff Planning Day (Pupil Free Day).
