On Tuesday 17 June, our VCE VM students sat Section A of the GAT. For many of our students, examinations have not been part of their academic progress for some time, however, our students went in with positive mindsets and worked hard throughout the time given. Well done, Year 12 students.
Students have begun their Work Learning Program with students attending Structured Work Learning placements or Work Experience placements. Any students who have not completed their forms or found Structured Workplace Learning or Work Experience should be coming to school for the last two weeks of Term 2.
Students should, whilst in the workplace, build relationships and discuss opportunities available for Term 3.
Some advanced notice for our Year 12 cohort, Year 12 VCE VM students will be completing their portfolio for Work Related Skills and will not be completing Structured Work Learning at the end of the Term 3.
Subject selection night details can be found in the Teaching and Learning section of the newsletter, as well as the details for the upcoming ERPP and VCE VM interviews on 4 August.
For students currently in Year 10 at Bundoora Campus who are interested in applying for Sport or Business Academy, should download the form from Daily Messages and then submit this to Student Reception before the end of Term 2. Any students wanting to select ERPP or VCE VM in 2026 can do so when the subject selection Web Preferences open in Term 3. Further information regarding this will be made available as part of the subject selection process.
Recently the VCE VM Preston Campus community held an Assembly that recognised and celebrated our student’s achievements over the term. The theme of the Assembly was to highlight to our students that growth and effort are just as important as the outcome.
These students were recognised by their teachers not only for their academic commitment, but for contributing to a classroom culture that included mutual support and integrity. By consistently applying themselves, showing kindness, and upholding respectful behaviour, they set an example worth celebrating.
Mr Sam May, our Indigenous Liaison officer gave a personal account to the students of ‘why’ the acknowledgement of country is a significant part of Indigenous recognition. Many students were unaware of the why, however, now have an understanding its significance.
Our masters of ceremony for the Assembly were Year 12 Prefects Ziggy Keating H10 and Tom Mongomery-Scobie T10, who did an outstanding job. As part of the Assembly, certificates were awarded and students recognised for their achievements by Ziggy and Tom.
Two of our students, Year 12 Anthony Lobosco B10 and Year 10 Cooper Wood B10, attended the WorldSkills games in Queensland last week. Anthony competed against others from the state in plumbing and Cooper competed in bricklaying. Both boys achieved excellent results highlighting their problem solving and practical skills under the pressure of competition.
We were able to congratulate Year 12 Tyson Gresham B10, a member of the 2025 ACC 1st XVIII Premiership team. The team has now qualified for the prestigious Herald Sun Shield for the third year in a row. Tyson has been a member of this winning team for the past two years.
Congratulations to Year 11 R.J Bamblett H10 who applied for and was awarded a position in the NRL Leadership camp for Indigenous students to be held in Queensland later in the year. R.J competed against many students across Victoria for this opportunity.
We were able to extend our best wishes to our students who prepared for their second block of work experience for the year.
The Assembly proved a fitting way to conclude classes for the academic term.
