2021 Orientation Program
After the year that has been, this week students can officially put 2020 behind them and start preparations for 2021. Yes, this week is Orientation week for students in Years 7-10. Students will be promoted into their 2021 classes and have the opportunity to ‘test’ their scheduled timetable, learn what each subject is about, understand what is required of them and have a taste of the content and activities that each subject entails. Students, staff and the school will use this week to iron out any identified issues with the 2021 timetable program and make any required changes. The benefit of this opportunity is to ensure we will be able to commence 2021 smoothly right from day 1- something we are all looking forward too!
Professional Learning Days
Last Thursday (26 November) saw staff undertake the third pupil free day of the year. We were concentrating on our planning for 2021 with a focus on Numeracy, and Assessment and Reporting. This Thursday sees our fourth pupil free day, we will be looking at Student Voice and Agency as well as continuing our preparations for 2021.
End of Year 2020
Over the course of the next two weeks (following the 2021 Orientation Week), students will participate in a collective learning program that is designed to be dynamic, experiential and exciting. We hope and aim to finish the year on a positive note! The learning program will comprise of theme days and activities that will be led by each Learning Area in the college. Students will take part in a STEM challenge day, a trip to the You Yangs for cycling and walking, Problem solving challenges, Geelong Waterfront sports and activities, Science and Technology design day, Humanities experience day and more. Students will need permission for both the Geelong Waterfront day and the You Yangs excursion day.
