Summer / Winter Uniform Transition
Please note that as of next week students need to be in full winter uniform. If any student is not in correct school uniform, they need to have a note and get a uniform pass from the Senior School Office.
Year 11 Careers Expo
On Thursday 4 May, the Year 11 students and teachers attended the Careers Expo at Caulfield Racecourse. It was great to see the students talking to staff at different tertiary institutions and other providers, collecting resources and attending seminars on VCE.
Thanks to the students for their co-operation and excellent behaviour, thanks to the staff who attended and the Careers and Senior Subschool teams for their work in co-ordinating the excursion.
End of Semester Reports
First semester reports will be distributed via Compass in the first week of the term break. The reports will contain detailed feedback on each of the Common Assessment or Learning Tasks or School Assessed Coursework or School Assessed Tasks, in the case of VCE subjects, completed by students. The grade for the semester exam (Year 9, 10 and 11) will also be included on the report. Information is also included on student learning behaviour and reporting on Victorian Curriculum progress (Years 7 to 10) where applicable.
Please continue to check Compass to keep up to date with information regarding this. Feedback for all learning tasks completed by students is available during the semester and includes the grade achieved and a comment and suggested strategies for improvement. Students and parents/ carers can check this at any time.
Student Attendance
Could parents/carers log any student absences on Compass as soon as is practical. Compass is set up to send a message each morning at 10:45 am to the families of those students who are absent without notice. If you have any questions relating to attendance, please call the General Office to discuss.

Attendance is particularly important for VCE students as there is a 90% attendance requirement to satisfactorily complete a unit and there are strict attendance requirements in relation to assessment tasks.
