Students across the college are deeply engaged in their learning. As we move into the second half of the term, it’s important that they stay up to date with classwork and strengthen their understanding through regular homework and home study.
This term has also been a busy one for subject and course selections for 2026, with students and parents actively participating in information sessions to guide their choices. In the coming weeks, we will continue working closely with students to support a smooth transition into the 2026 academic year.
Student Parent Teacher Conferences
These important meetings will be held on Thursday 11 September. They provide a valuable opportunity for students and parents to meet with teachers, receive feedback on progress, and develop action plans for further improvement in Term 4. I strongly encourage all students and parents to attend. Further details will be shared with parents via Compass in the coming weeks.
E-Scooter Safety – What Students and Parents Need to Know
E-scooters are becoming an increasingly popular mode of transport for students and community members alike. With their growing use, it’s important that both parents and students understand the safety requirements and legal responsibilities that come with riding an e-scooter in Victoria.
Below is a summary of the key rules, as outlined by Transport Victoria:
What You Must Do When Riding an E-Scooter
E-scooter riders are required to:
- Be 16 years of age or older
- Wear a helmet at all times
- Ride at a maximum speed of 20 km/h
- Ride single file – not in tandem or side by side
- Ride only on:
- Shared-use paths (not footpaths)
- Bicycle paths
- Roads with a speed limit of 60 km/h or less
- Not carry any passengers
- Use front and rear lights (steady or flashing) when riding at night or in low-light conditions
- Park responsibly, ensuring the scooter does not block pedestrian paths or create safety hazards
- Scooters should be locked with a bike lock when parked at school
Why It Matters
These rules are in place to help keep riders and others safe. Failure to follow them can result in fines and puts both the rider and others at risk. As e-scooter use grows, it’s essential we all do our part to promote safe and respectful riding in our community.

Senior Campus Staff Car Park
We kindly remind all parents and carers that the school car park is not to be used for student drop-off, pick-up, or general parking at any time.
To help ensure the safety of our students and staff, and to maintain smooth traffic flow, we ask that you please park in the surrounding streets. We also encourage everyone to be considerate of our neighbouring residents by avoiding driveways and observing local parking regulations.
Thank you for your understanding and continued cooperation.
