Senior Years Update

The Senior Years has been a hype of activity in recent weeks. From assessments to chocolate cakes to motivational quotes to course counselling. We are all still working hard to make the most of what 2021 has left to offer.

Special mention to Mrs Boyanton and Mr Horsted who have completed a mountain of work towards our 2022 Course Counselling (aka ‘Coursemas’). We had Room B10 a flurry of excitement as students discussed and chose subjects for the VCAL and VCE studies, along with VET courses. Most were joined by parents, hooking in remotely. This proves that not even significant physical distancing barriers can get Coursemas down!

The Year 12 English students have completed their highly anticipated oral presentation assessments. They were nervously pacing around the Language Centre, waiting for their chance to present to the panel of expert assessors. This included Mr Drummond, Ms Teakle, Ms Allinson, Mr Houlihan, Ms Hunt and Ms Wray. The students did an excellent job and there were some amazing topics that blew the assessors away.

Some hard working VCAL students have begun completing their coursework and starting full time work. This is a fantastic outcome and we can’t wait to see the amazing achievements these students go onto do in their different careers and pathways.

In the coming weeks, we are looking forward to finalising course counselling and placing students into their desired subjects for 2023. Many Unit 2 and 4 subjects will soon finish up the content delivery and start working on study and revision for end of year exams. Students will be sitting the GAT on Thursday 9th September – a great opportunity for students to get some exam practice in before the end of the year.
