Congratulations to our Year 12s who have surpassed the halfway mark for their final year. We continue to be proud of the hard work and perseverance you are demonstrating this year and encourage you to use the break to recharge, reset and prepare yourself for term 3.
I would also like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the hard work of all our staff over the last semester. Our school is so lucky to have teachers and educational support staff that go above and beyond to support our students and provide them with valuable experiences both in and outside of the classroom. Thank you for your dedication, the difference you make for the students at our school does not go unnoticed.
VCE Student/Parent/Teacher Interviews
Interviews will occur on Thursday 16 July in the first week back next term between 4pm and 7pm. These interviews provide an opportunity for VCE teachers, parents and students to meet early in the semester to discuss how students are progressing and areas for improvement for Semester Two. More information will be sent out via Compass.
Semester Reports
Semester One reports will be released to our community next week. Semester reports provide feedback on Approaches to Learning, performance against the Victorian Curriculum for 7-10, results for each Outcome for VCE, and an overall result for each subject. I would like to encourage both students and parents/carers to use this as an opportunity to reflect on Semester One and consider areas of success and opportunities for improvement that could be a focus for Semester Two.
Supporting Students in VCE
As your young person navigates the challenges and rewards of the VCE, your support at home plays a vital role in their success and wellbeing. The most effective way to help them progress is by establishing a predictable, quiet study space and maintaining open lines of communication about their workload. Rather than focusing solely on grades, encourage a growth mindset by celebrating their consistent effort, effective time management, and resilience after setbacks.
Balancing rigorous study with regular sleep, healthy nutrition, and downtime is crucial. By acting as a calm, encouraging presence during high stress assessment periods, you can help them maintain perspective and build the confidence they need to achieve their personal best. Please remember that the Sub School Team is here to support and we encourage you to reach out if you have any concerns about your child.
A request from VCAA
To ensure they maintain rigorous standards and a coherent, student-centred approach, the Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority (VCAA) is seeking feedback from key stakeholders through the 2026 Have your say on VCE Studies consultation survey.
They value the input from diverse voices across the education sector and encourage students, teachers, parents and carers, education providers, subject associations, industry representatives, community groups and other interested stakeholders to complete the survey.
The survey takes approximately 5 – 10 minutes to complete and invites feedback on the VCE study designs as part of their ongoing monitoring and evaluation of VCE studies.
Feedback gathered through the survey will form part of the evidence base for any future review of VCE studies.
The survey is anonymous and will close on Monday 10 August.
The survey can be accessed at Consultation survey: 2026 Have your say on VCE Studies.
The VCAA is committed to working collaboratively with stakeholders and will continue to engage with and listen to schools and learners across all sectors. If you would like further information, please contact the VCE Curriculum Unit, by email to vcaa.vce.curriculum@education.vic.gov.au.
