Year 11 & 12 Coordinator’s Message

Welcome back to all our students and parents for another exciting school year. My name is Inass Fayad and I am the Year 11 and 12 Coordinator. I extend my warmest welcome to the 2018 VCE students and parents, as well as remind you that my door is always open to students and parents if you require any assistance.

VCE is a very exciting and challenging time for both students and parents. We have had minor uniform changes including navy blue scarves and black stockings for our VCE students.

Key priorities for students will include attendance, time management and effective study skills. Students are aware of a minimum attendance requirement of 80%, but in order to achieve to their fullest potential, students should aim for an attendance rate of well above 90% for all their classes.

As a parent, checking in on your daughter’s progress both academically as well as her general wellbeing is important. Ensure she is using her study time effectively (that usually means keeping of social media during study times, and having a study schedule) and she is well rested (adolescents need around 9 hours a night). These suggestions may seem insignificant and obvious but they are the essential ingredients to a successful year, both academically and otherwise. The best way to monitor your daughter’s progress is via Seqta, so please make sure you have access or get in touch with the college to assist you.
