STUDENTS DRIVING TO SCHOOL

We now have a small number of Year 12 students who have turned 18 and gained their driver’s licence! These students are able to drive to school but we ask that, as they can their licence, they message our Admin. Team Leader, Lesley De Noronha, via Teams to let her know they have started driving to school. This will allow Lesley to then send home an Operoo for parents to sign off on to confirm approval to drive has been granted.

WORK EFFORTS AT YEAR 12

We have noticed the continued application to their studies and work tasks by both VCE VM and VCE students across this term and wanted to both recognise these efforts and thank parents and families for your support in this as well. It has been quite hectic recently with a variety of work tasks and SACs falling due and we wanted to encourage all students to keep applying themselves as best they can.

Applications for tertiary studies will open next term and we will run information sessions and advertise “Open Days” at universities and TAFE institutions and colleges at that time.

Year 12 VM Literacy students, with the second year VET Certificate in Sport and Recreation class, travelled to Try Boys stadium this week to immerse themselves in wheelchair basketball. To support learning of the Unit 4 topic – Advocacy, students all had the chance to learn about the game, the chairs and background of the sport, as well as be expertly shown how to operate these specialised chairs and play a few games of wheelchair basketball. A huge thank you to Will, Kaye and Kerryn from Parallel Sports for sharing their skills and knowledge.

Parallel Sports Inc. is a self-help association that connects people with physical disabilities to sporting clubs, promoting the health benefits and community social network benefits through participation in sports which may or may not have an adaptive need, and establishing positive connected links for individuals in the greater community at large.

The VET classes – Year 12 Creative Industries and Year 11 Small Business travelled to the Great Ocean Road Chocolaterie and Ice Creamery to apply their knowledge and expand their skills around the design process, quality processes and operating practices. Key aspects of the excursion included:
• Chocolate tasting of 12 popular products, learning about cocoa and the different techniques used by their European Chocolatiers
• Educational talk on operations, marketing, history of the business, stakeholders, innovation and social responsibility
• Making a giant chocolate lollipop to take home
• Grounds tour through 15 acres of orchards, lavender garden and kitchen garden. Learn about recycling, sustainability and property regeneration
Thanks to all involved for a worthwhile excursion and insight into this successful business.

Victoria’s senior secondary education is changing. From 2023, most students will study the VCE. That’s because the VCE will include the Vocational Major, a 2-year program that sits within the VCE. There will also be the Victorian Pathways Certificate for those who need flexibility in their learning.

From 2023, the new VCE Vocational Major will replace Intermediate and Senior VCAL and in addition, the new Victorian Pathways Certificate (VPC) will replace Foundation VCAL. This means the VCE will recognise different students equally. It must be noted that the VPC supports students to Year 12 but is not a Senior Certificate. ĢƵ will switch to delivering VCE Vocational Major (VM) and Victorian Pathways Certificate (VPC) from 2023.

As a result of these changes, students will have more education choices and opportunities to prepare them for their preferred future of further study, training at TAFE or work.

At ĢƵ we also uniquely offer a program known as PreVoc (formerly PreCAL). PreVoc is an applied learning program offered to Year 10 students to better prepare students for a pathway that leads them into the VCE-Vocational Major (VCE-VM) or the Victorian Pathways Certificate (VPC), whilst also giving them a range of practical and vocational skills and experiences.

For more information you can visit True North or go to

To find out more information about PreVoc, VCE-VM and VPC, please contact Sarah Clark (VPC Leader) and Gab Mahon (Careers Counsellors) are also available at the College to answer questions and to support students as they make decisions about their final years at school.

We invite you all to the Senior Years’ Information Night and Subject Expo. The focus of the session is to gain knowledge and understanding of the pathways through the senior school (Years 10 – 12), where these pathways lead to (University, TAFE, Apprenticeships, Traineeships) and the ATAR – what it is and what it means. We will also introduce the way subject selections will be undertaken for 2022 and how we would like you to become involved.

Prior to the information session we be offering a Subject Expo where teachers of senior studies and students will be available to speak with you about the subjects available, what you will study and why you should study them.

The Senior Years Information Night is specifically for parents of students in Year 9 and 10 because these are the students who will be making significant decisions over the course of the next term. Due to the changes in the Senior Years’ Pathways that are being introduced, we would encourage you to attend with your young person even if you were present in the 2021 session.

Date: Monday 16 May

What: Senior Years Subject Expo
When: 5.00pm – 6.15 pm
Where: Brigidine Centre

What: Senior Years Information Session
When: 6.30pm – 7.30 pm
Where: Tullow Hall

Please RSVP via Operoo if you and your daughter will be attending.
