Planning for 2019

At this stage of the year, the College is supporting students with completing their learning program for 2018 as well as planning for 2019.

We look forward to many exciting outcomes from the Curriculum Review. In recent weeks planning has taken place around many projects including Year 8 City Experience, Year 7 Instrumental Music Program, Inquiry and Project Based Learning subjects, VCE English Language, VCE Environmental Science, Year 10 VCAL, Year 8 and 9 Media Arts, Year 8 and 9 Dance, Wellbeing subjects and Extension Academies among other projects.

A reminder that classes will begin at 8.45am and conclude at 3.25pm at all campuses in 2019.

Allocation of students to classes for 2019 has just about concluded. Students in Year 10, 11 and 12 in 2019 have now received their subjects and those in Year 8 and 9 in 2019 will receive their subjects shortly.

Booklists are just about complete and will be published to parents by the end of next week.

We wish 2019 Year 10 – 12 students best wishes as they begin the Commencement Program next Monday. This will see students beginning the first three weeks of their 2019 courses.

The final day for Year 8 – 11 2018 students is Friday 7 December.

The first day of classes for Year 7 – 12 in 2019 is Monday 4 February.
