Welcome back to a new term of learning. Learning doesn’t just happen by accident it is through careful planning and preparation that teachers provided students with high quality learning experiences. These experiences, both inside and outside the classroom are a vital part of the way we educate our students.
This is a busy term with students completing their studies for this year while starting to think about next year. As we move through this term students will undertake a range of learning activities and assessment as we lead up to our final examination period for middle school students.
As the year has progressed students in Year 10 have started to look towards VCE, making subject selections for their next step in their journey through the college. With their final set of exams the last chapter of their Middle School experience at the college.
The Early Commencement Program will see Year 9 become Year 10 and our Year 10 moving into Year 11 and the opportunity to start their VCE program. This program is an important step forward for all students in starting their 2025 studies.
I would encourage all Middle School students to take every opportunity provided by teachers to put themselves in the best possible position complete the year successfully.
