The VCE examination period is now underway, with our Year 12 students soon sitting their English exam. We recognise this is an intensive period for students and families. As your child prepares for upcoming exams, you can help them focus their efforts by encouraging them to concentrate on topics requiring the most attention, review feedback from previous assessments to identify areas for improvement and connect with their teachers for clarification on challenging concepts. Preparation for upcoming exams is important, but sustaining wellbeing throughout the examination period is equally vital. Encourage your child to prioritise adequate sleep each night, minimise distractions during study sessions, continue regular physical activity, and maintain healthy, regular meals. To all our Year 12 students sitting exams, we wish you success.
Students will receive their 2026 elective subject allocations in early November. Once received, families can purchase required materials through Campion Education, ensuring students have both digital and print resources ready for Term 1.
While we do our best to accommodate as many subject combinations as possible, building a College timetable is a complex process with unavoidable constraints. We recognise that families may hope for specific class groupings or teachers, and we appreciate these preferences reflect your care for your child's learning. As part of our commitment to a balanced process, it is not the College’s practice to accommodate individual requests for placement with specific teachers or peers.
Where families have questions regarding their child’s 2026 subjects, they should then contact the relevant Dean of Learning, Nadia Bonvicino (Year 7-9) or James Fogarty (Year 10-12) or Dean of VCE VM, Tegan Hopkins.
Please note that Friday 21 November is a student free day for Years 7-10 due to Semester 2 report finalisation.
All students continuing at Parade in 2026 are required to attend school for Early Commencement classes. 2026 commencement classes begin on Monday 24 November until Friday 5 December. It is important to note that teachers will not repeat lessons regarding this information when school returns in Term 1. As such, it is essential that all students attend. To support your child’s learning during the commencement period, your child’s teachers will provide the necessary course material. Families can access from Campion Education the first novel for English or Literature that may be required during commencement classes. Please note, not all year levels will require a novel during this time.
