Term 3 has been an action-packed term for our senior students with both curricular and extra-curricular events happening across all areas of the college. In particular it is always a busy term for our Year 12s as they complete their final school-based assessment tasks for their studies. Whilst we hope the holidays provide some time for rest and relaxation, they should also be an opportunity to begin to revise, consolidate and prepare for the approaching exams.
Year 11 Fancy Dress
On Friday 5 September, just over 200 Year 11 students rocked up to the Novotel in Glen Waverley in a variety of costumes ready to dance the night away. The photobooth got a work out, whilst the photographer got some amazing dance floor snaps. It was a fantastic opportunity for our students to gather as a cohort and both students and staff had a great time. Thanks to all the staff who helped out on the night and for getting into the spirit with some great costumes.
Central Australia Trip
At 5:15am next Wednesday morning, 40 Year 11 and 10 students and 5 staff will set off for our annual Central Australia Trip. After an overnight stay in Adelaide they will make their way to Coober Pedy, Uluru, Kings Canyon and Alice Springs, with stops and day trips along the way to see the fantastic sights and enjoy the cultural experiences Central Australia has to offer. We are looking forward to hearing all about their adventures upon their return. Look out on our Socials for updates.
English Trial Exam
On Wednesday 15 September, students studying Units 3 & 4 English will complete a trial exam. This is an opportunity for them to experience the full 3 hours of writing, and 15 minutes reading time required when completing the English exam. The exam will be marked by external assessors, allowing students to receive valuable feedback on their progress. It is being conducted at this time to allow students to work through the feedback provided with their teacher.
Unit 3 & 4 Holiday Revision Program
Students completing a Units 3 & 4 subject have been provided information about the revision program occurring in the second week of the term break. Students are strongly encouraged to attend if their subject is running a session. The sessions on offer range from practice exam opportunities, extra support and revision lectures. Thanks in advance to all the teachers involved in the program and to Mr James Johnston for his co-ordination and organisation of the program.
