As we approach the end of Term 2, it's important to acknowledge what has been a particularly long and demanding term for our school community. Students, families and staff have shown resilience and dedication throughout this period. As we prepare for the upcoming holidays, we encourage everyone to take this opportunity to rest and reconnect. Whether that means spending quality time together, pursuing shared activities, or simply enjoying quieter moments at home, this break assists with everyone's wellbeing and readiness for learning in Term 3.

Semester One Reports

Reports will be accessible on PAM from 2.00pm on Thursday 3 July. Where you have specific questions about your child’s report, please contact your child’s subject teacher.

2025 Subject Selection and VCE and Tertiary Expo

Year 9 and 10 students and their parents will be required to attend one of the three subject selection information sessions and the VCE and Tertiary Expo. These will be based at the Bundoora Campus. ERPP and VCE VM students are encouraged to attend the Expo if they wish, as it will provide valuable opportunities to connect with various tertiary education providers. The presence of multiple tertiary institutions at the Expo will offer students and families the chance to gather information about future pathway options.

Current Year 11 and 12 VCE students are encouraged to attend from 3.30pm to 4.30pm when they will have access to Parade College VCE, VET and VCE VM staff as well as representatives from a range of tertiary institutions.
