VCE VCAA Exams: The Results Are Here!
And just like that, the VCE exams are over! To all our hardworking Year 12s, congratulations on reaching the finish line of this marathon of study, caffeine, and questionable Google searches about logarithms at 3 a.m. Results were released on Thursday, remember that these scores are just one part of your story. We’re incredibly proud of your efforts and can’t wait to see where your next adventure takes you—hopefully to a well-deserved sleep-in!
Year 12 Graduation Night: A Night to Remember
What a spectacular celebration! Our Year 12 Graduation Night was nothing short of magical, with students and guests bringing their A-game in style and smiles. The evening was filled with heartfelt speeches, warm congratulations, and just a hint of nostalgia (yes, that’s what those happy tears were about). The night’s highlight was the recognition of special award recipients—congratulations to all for setting an incredible example of excellence. To our graduates: you’ve officially earned the right to call yourself alumni, so go forth, chase your dreams, and maybe remember to call your parents once in a while. Well done, Class of 2024—you made us proud!
Year 11 into 12 Orientation: Buckle Up for 2025!
Congratulations to our soon-to-be Year 12 students for navigating Orientation Week like seasoned pros. Classes are sorted, teachers are assigned, and holiday homework is firmly on the radar. Remember, this isn’t a “choose your own adventure” situation—it’s “complete your homework or be haunted by it in Term 1.” If any issues pop up, shoot your teachers an email. They love holiday interruptions almost as much as they love marking essays!
Year 12 Leadership Camp 2025: Ballarat Bound
With all forms signed and submitted, the countdown to the 2025 Leadership Camp is officially on! This exciting event will be held at a university in Ballarat, where students will stay in dorms and experience a taste of campus life. No need to brush up on your campfire cooking skills—meals are covered, so your focus can stay on the leadership activities (and maybe figuring out how to make your bed with hospital corners).
Don’t forget to check the Google Classroom for the packing list and important updates. Since Ballarat is known for its brisk weather, we recommend packing some warm clothes—you’ll thank us when the temperature drops! This camp promises to be a great opportunity to build connections, develop skills, and prepare for the exciting year ahead. See you there!
Year 10 into 11 Orientation: Stepping Into Senior School
Our Year 10 students have taken their first steps into senior school life, and what a great start it’s been! VM students have begun planning their workplace learning for 2025, making excellent progress on their first projects. VCE students have jumped straight into their new classes, laying a solid foundation for the year ahead—and yes, they’ve also received their first taste of holiday homework.
This orientation period has been about more than just academics; it’s been an introduction to the responsibilities and opportunities of senior school. Our students have shown great enthusiasm and adaptability, setting themselves up for a successful transition.
Congratulations to all Year 10s for embracing this step with such positivity. Keep up the great work, and remember to tackle that holiday homework during the break—it’s a key step in preparing for the exciting challenges of next year. You’re off to a fantastic start!
Enjoy the Break: Senior School’s Final Sign-Off
As the year winds down, we’d like to extend a huge thank you for an amazing 2024. Whether it was nailing exams, surviving homework marathons, or figuring out how to navigate the school’s Wi-Fi, you’ve made us proud. Enjoy the break, recharge those batteries, and maybe even pick up a book or two (holiday homework doesn’t complete itself). Stay safe, and we’ll see you bright-eyed and bushy-tailed in 2025!
P.S. Don’t forget to put your uniform in the wash at least once before Term 1. Your future self will thank you.
