Learning and Teaching

Year 7 - 12 Remote and Flexible Learning

Thank you for your support with your son or daughter and their learning through another challenging period of remote and flexible learning. It is important that students log onto Canvas and engage with their teachers via Zoom when required. Teachers are working hard together to ensure that students are provided with the best possible learning experience and are making changes to assessment and other learning activities as required. They are very mindful of what students are able to do from home and therefore, it is important that parents and students continue to communicate any issues or concerns that you may have during this time so we can all continue to support our students.

Unit 4 GAT and CED Update

The new GAT date has been released and it will take place in the College Multipurpose Centre on Thursday 9 September, 10:00am - 1:15pm (subject to public health advice). There will be no Year 11 or 12 classes on this day.

Once again VCAA will implement the Consideration of Educational Disadvantage (CED) for all Unit 4 students as a result of disruption to student learning caused by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Students and parents will be informed of this process and supported to access it. More information is also available on the VCAA website

Unit 4 Parent and Student Virtual Information Session

To assist parents and students, we will run a Unit 4 Parent and Student Virtual Information session on Wednesday 15 September via ZOOM from 6:00pm - 7:00pm. It is important that all Unit 4 students and parents attend this meeting. We will also explain how the Trial examinations will run and share important Term 4 dates. Students will be sent a Zoom link prior to the Information session.

Unit 4 Trial Examinations

A reminder that all Unit 4 students will undertake a Trial examination in their Unit 4 subjects in the second week of the Term 4 break, from Monday 27 September to Friday 1 October. We will make a decision close to the end of term if these examinations will be held onsite or remotely.

Year 7 - 11 Student Parent Teacher Conferences

Year 7 - 11 Student Parent Teacher Conferences will run via Zoom on Thursday 16 September, 4:00pm - 7:00pm and on Friday 17 September, 9:00am to 12:00pm. A letter will be sent next week with more information.
