VCE

Earlier this year Elevate Education ran seminars with our senior students on organisation and study skills. This term they will be visiting again on Tuesday 6th September. The focus of this session is “Ace your exams” and will include:

• Highest value exam preparation tasks
• Fixing mistakes to ensure constant improvement
• Time allocation during exam preparation
• Techniques for managing stress & time pressure in exams

These seminars assist students in using and applying the skills they learn and support the learning that takes place in the classroom.  

 The General Achievement Test (GAT) will be held on Wednesday 7th September. In 2022, the GAT will be different to previous years. It will be split into two sections:

Section A will assess literacy and numeracy skills

Section B will assess skills in mathematics, science, technology, the arts and humanities, with an increased focus on critical and creative thinking skills.

All students enrolled in one or more VCE or scored VCE VET Unit 3-4 sequence will be required to sit Sections A and B. Senior VCAL students will sit Section A.

All students studying a Unit 3-4 subject will be completing practice exams this term in preparation for their VCAA exams held in October and November. It is expected that all students sit these exams.

They will take place on the following dates:

• Thursday 15th September (normal classes will not run on this day)
• Monday 19th – Wednesday 21st September (first three days of the school holidays)

If your student is unable to attend the exams please contact their house coordinator or myself. Details regarding the specific times of each subject exam will made available over the coming weeks.

All details for future events including exams and end of year celebrations will be shared via Compass and email. We kindly ask that you regularly check these so important information is not missed.
