An update from VCE
The corridors have been ablaze with happy faces, chatting and coming together as a cohort. In classes, the VCE students have been keeping up to date with coursework, seeking feedback from teachers and being attentive in class. All VCE teachers have been impressed with how committed the VCE students are to their studies over the past few weeks.
VCE FLEXIBLE LEARNING DAYS
From Monday February 23, all VCE students will have flexible learning days. These days are to be used for school events, excursions and activities. If your son and/or daughter, does not have any event listed above, then they are required to complete a minimum of 3 hours of study at home. Starting Monday February 23, special online classes will begin with Ms Adamson. These special classes will tackle highly effective study strategies that VCE students can implement throughout the next 12 – 24 months to all their subjects. Students who have signed up to be a part of the 40+ club will be required to attend these lessons; however, they are open to any student to attend. I highly encourage as many VCE students to attend these 1-hour sessions as they can to build and develop their study skills.
VCE and VM ATTENDANCE
The VCE handbook on the college website outlines the requirements from the Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority (VCAA) for all students undertaking VCE and VM. All staff, students and parents are expected to read through the handbook to ensure they are aware of all of requirements for a successful VCE journey. The link below clearly outlines the requirements to complete VCE or VM including the importance of attendance. Please note that when a student has an activity scheduled on a VCE Flexible Learning Day, attendance is compulsory otherwise this will impact on their attendance. VCE students are required to have a minimum attendance of 90%. When your son and/or daughter has an attendance of less than 90%, you will be sent a letter via PAM.
