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.
