Welcome Back, Senior School Families!
We hope your summer was filled with relaxation, adventure, and just the right amount of “Mum, I’m bored” complaints. As we dive into another school year, we’re thrilled to have a fantastic team leading our senior students through the chaos—oops, we mean, the excitement—of Year 11 and 12.
This year, our expert lineup includes:
Year 12 Coordinators: Mrs. Martin & Mr. O’Callaghan – masters of motivation and keeping Year 12 on track.
Year 11 Coordinators: Ms. Cropp & Dr. King – here to help students navigate the VCE maze.
VCE VM Coordinator: Ms. Quick – because things need to happen fast in the VCE VM world!
VET Coordinator: Mrs. Sulomar – making sure our hands-on learners get the best experience.
Sub School Assistant: Miss Bonnie – the glue that holds it all together!
We’re set for an amazing year ahead!
Year 12 Camp – The University Experience (With Extra Fun)
Our Year 12s kicked off their final school year with a trip to Federation University, where they got a sneak peek at residential life (a.k.a. learning how to survive without a fully stocked fridge at home).
The highlight? An epic games night, featuring intense rounds of Simon Says and Musical Chairs—because nothing says "VCE prep" like fiercely battling classmates for a seat.
But in between the fun, students gained invaluable study skills and VCE/VM strategies, including job interview tips, time management, and application advice. A huge win for our soon-to-be graduates!
Year 11 Study Sensei – Unleashing the Inner Academic Ninja
Our Year 11 VCE students started strong with a how-to-study session that provided game-changing tips on time management, study plans, and making the most of their learning. Think of it as “VCE Bootcamp,” but with fewer push-ups and more brain workouts.
A great start to the year and, hopefully, a little less last-minute cramming before exams!
Year 11 VCE VM – Gearing Up for the Workforce
Our VCE VM students have hit the ground running! Not only have they begun their VET studies, but they’re also preparing for their first work placements. This year’s program offers an exciting twist—students will get the chance to spend a structured workplace learning day applying their new skills in real-world settings.
So, parents, if your teen starts practising their professional handshake at the dinner table—just go with it. They’re getting career-ready!
Looking Ahead!
With so much happening already, Term 1 is shaping up to be a fantastic one. We’re excited for all that’s to come and look forward to seeing our senior students thrive.
Here’s to a great term ahead—bring on the learning, laughter, and maybe just a little bit of caffeine for our Year 12s!
Cheers,
The Senior School Team
