•  No materials will be provided for students at the Gym. Students are expected to have all materials with them. If they need support beforehand, please contact the Middle Sub School.
•  Any misbehaviour during exams will result in being removed from the exam room and completing their exam in an afterschool detention.
•  Catch-up exams will run in the following week. Students are to contact the Middle Sub School and organise a time to complete these catch-up sessions.

Year 10 Expectations

•  If you catch a bus or wish to remain at school to study, then learning spaces will be provided in the library.
•  Please make sure you arrive early and in full academic uniform. Late arrival students out of uniform won't be allowed access to the gym and will complete a catch-up exam.

•  Year 11 subjects take priority over Year 10 exams so if you have a clash, please attend your Year 11 class and complete a catch-up exam on another day.

Uniform

As the cold weather creeps in so do a lot of uniform issues. Can we please ask parents to support us in making sure students are following the Uniform Policy. The main issues arising over the past weeks and coming into winter are:

• Students wearing incorrect jumpers/hoodies.
• Wearing the P.E uniform on non-PE days
• Facial Hair- Students are reminded they need to be clean shaven when arriving to school
• Earrings and Fake nails- These are an OHS issue. Nails need to be natural and of a reasonable length, and no hooped earrings.

Intermediate Girls Football

Well done to our Intermediate Girls' Football Team who represented the College during the week. They came away with a couple of wins, but the most pleasing things was the feedback received from other staff on how well they conducted themselves during the day. Displaying our school values in the community and supporting each other all day!

Deakin Immersion Day

Recently our Year 10 students got the opportunity at Deakin University to immerse themselves in a supported on-campus experience. Students gained key insights into university life through hands-on learning, access to innovative learning spaces and the chance to work with current Deakin University students to ask questions and talk about university life. We thank the Careers Team for all their work in providing our students with these great opportunities. A reminder to parents and students that giving consent as early as possible for these events on Compass, is very important as there is more and more work going on behind the scenes to support these excursions going ahead.

Semester Two Timetables

Students will receive their Semester Two timetables in the coming weeks and be given the opportunity to try and swap any electives. As always class lists are very full, and subject changes can’t always be made. So please get in early and we will do our best to make any changes that are possible.
