Through the early part of Term 3, students and parents were involved in sessions that supported students to select their subjects for the 2025 school year at the Years 10, 11 and 12 levels.
The sessions were an opportunity for staff to talk about the type of subjects that are available, pre-requisites needed for tertiary studies, differences between VCE and VCE/VM (formerly known as VCAL), what factors students (and parents) should consider when making subject choices for the following year, study commitments for the following year and obviously, a time when staff could answer questions raised by students and parents.
I thank all parents who were involved in these sessions as this obviously helps support their children in making the right decisions re study programmes for the following year.
Research has shown that students experience the greatest success with their schooling and beyond when education is an unbreakable partnership between the school (staff), parents and children - that is when parents share their children’s schooling journey with them, supporting them, encouraging and helping them through any hurdles that arise.
