SENIOR SCHOOL

Term 2 is a short term in terms of completing Units 1 and 3. Year 10 and 11 students are heading towards mid-year exams. Year 12 students are busy completing many SACs and coursework items. A reminder that the due date for coursework across senior school, both VCE and VCE-VM is Thursday 8th June. After this date, results are given to the VCAA Coordinator and no changes can be made. Please check your Compass to ensure you have all your coursework items completed.  

GAT 

The 2023 GAT will take place on Thursday 15th June. All students who are completing a Unit 3/4 subject, including VCE and VCE-VM students must be at school on this day.  

The General Achievement Test (GAT) is a pen-and-paper test of general knowledge and skills taken by students in the course of completing their senior secondary studies. 

The GAT plays an important role in the quality assurance of VCE assessments and also provides students with an opportunity to demonstrate they meet the Victorian Literacy and Numeracy Standards expected at a senior secondary level. 

No special study is needed. Past study of subjects like English, Mathematics, Science and History prepares students for the GAT by building their general knowledge and skills in writing, numeracy and reasoning.  

Cross Country 

A number of senior students represented their House in the Cross Country event that took place at Lilydale Lake earlier this Term. Congratulations to Reuben Johnson, Year 11 for taking out the senior boys and Holly Waite, Niamh Delaney and Rhianna Gray for winning their respective age groups. Well done to everyone who competed.  

Year 12 Formal 

The Year 12 social committee are busy organising their Year 12 Formal. This is being held at Chateau Wyuna in Mount Evelyn on 8th June. We are looking forward to celebrating with the Class of 2023. Photos will follow in the next newsletter.
