We are approaching the half-way point for Term 3. Most of our Year 12s are experiencing a slight lull in SACs, but we are encouraging them to maintain the momentum, keep up to date with their work, and ensure that regular study is still occurring at home. Year 11s should have all completed their course selections for next year in order for us to begin working on our 2026 timetable. A reminder that our wonderful Careers Team are more than happy to meet with students who have questions around their post secondary school options whatever pathway they are considering following.

 

VCE Information Evenings 

Thank you to the parents/carers who attended our online VCE Information Evenings last week, and the in person VCE VM and VET Information Evening the week prior. There is a lot of new information and requirements that exist as students begin their VCE journey and your support is important. The slides and a list of Frequently Asked Questions were shared via Compass following these evenings for your reference. Please remember the subschool is here to support students as they transition from Year 10 to VCE, and from Year 11 to Year 12. 

 

Year 10 – 11 Course Interviews

On Friday 8 August, Year 10 students were given the opportunity to meet with a staff member to complete their VCE course selection for 2026. The students were well prepared, and it was clear much consideration had gone into their choices. It was rewarding to hear students were making their choices based on subject enjoyment, requirements for possible university courses and the need to have a balanced course load. The day wouldn’t have run so smoothly without the support from many people, so a big thank you to everyone involved; Ms Sarah Chase, Mr James Johnston, Ms Jo Rogers, Ms Asha Vazirani, Mr Andrew Morton, Mr Chris Bamford, Ms Sunita Sewani, Mr Tristan Dunkley, Mr Tristan Kent, Ms Stephanie Xing, Mr Aayush Khosla, Ms Elizabeth Sutherland, Mr Tim Peters, Mr Wayne Griffin, Mr Phil Newnham, Ms Victoria Tortopidis, Mr Adam Wheeler, Ms Juliz Mathew, Ms Robyn Whitelaw, Ms Melissa Chapman, Mr Ian Macleod and Ms Yu Sun. 

 

College Production

After many years at Mount Waverley Secondary College, I am always amazed at the talent we have amongst our staff and students. This year’s production, Split Earth, was actually written by two of our drama teachers, Mr Matthew Weekes and Ms Maddi Kerr. They decided to take on this extraordinary challenge as it meant the production could cater specifically to the talents of our students. Throughout Terms 1 and 2, a team of dedicated staff and students have been putting in hours of work to bring together a fantastic show. It is so rewarding to see students involved in running backstage, lighting, ushering, the canteen and the many other jobs that are required for the production to go ahead.
Well done to everyone involved on yet another successful show! 

 

Continuous Reporting

Whilst students will receive feedback in different ways from their teachers in the classroom, feedback on formal assessment tasks is provided regularly via Compass throughout the semester. Parents are encouraged to regularly check this feedback and discuss it with their student/s to support their learning progress.
