This year has presented many challenges, during COVID and teaching remotely. It has been great to be back in action this term and even better to see both staff and students’ enthusiasm as we get back into the normal routine of practical classes.  

Our VCE students have shown incredible resilience this year and all have been rewarded as they completed their exams without interruption. Recently, our Health and Human Development and Physical Education students completed their exams. Teachers awaited eagerly outside for the first copy of the exam, I am not sure who was more nervous and excited all at the same time. Outdoor and Environmental studies will be approaching soon, we wish all the students who have exams to come and those who have completed their exams the absolute best of luck. All students should be so proud of the effort they have put into their education this year. 

Year 10 and 11 students have been working hard towards completing their final units of work as they too head into exams during their scheduled class time over the next two weeks. 

Year 9 students have waited anxiously to return to school so they can get into their final SEPEP European Handball unit. This unit allows students to explore roles such as player, coach, referee, and scorer. The rivalry between class teams is high and we cannot wait to see the excitement of their class tournaments come alive.  

Year 7 students are also getting a taste of their first SEPEP Netball tournament. Learning new roles and positions on the court has been difficult, many have embraced the challenge of helping others and supporting one another if they step into enemy territory. Lastly, let us not forget about our wonderful Year 8’s who are working through their rotations of AFL, Soccer, Speedball and Basketball.  

In health, students have commenced their final units across 7-9 including looking at Respectful Relationships, Alcohol and Road Safety.  

It is a timely reminder to all students to keep working hard and aiming to achieve their absolute best that they can. Term 4 reports will be just around the corner. Make sure you are checking Compass to see any red dots and if you have submitted something and have not received feedback, or you have submitted work late, please let your teacher know via Microsoft teams’ message or email so they can provide you with feedback.
