YEAR 12
Congratulations and well done to the students for their effort and attitude for the Unit 3 practice exams of the past week. As stated earlier. Giving the opportunity for the students to be able to experience the setting out and rules of their end of year VCAA exams was hopefully beneficial and should take some of the ‘unknowns’ away.
It would also be remise of me not to mention and thank the staff who were involved in helping run the program, especially those in the year 11 and 12 community who went above and beyond what was expected of them to help support the process.
Tonight, we celebrate the End of Semester 1 with a formal gathering in the community centre. Well done to Mel Simpson, Sarah Dimovski and Sophie Hill for their leadership in organising the event. It should be a great evening and I’m sure there will be plenty of photos to follow.
Finally, we have officially entered semester 2 – or Unit 4 – for VCE. This will be a very busy time, with a lot of work for our students. So please make sure they look after themselves over the break and recharge their batteries for a quick sprint home.
The end is in sight!
