The Nano Nagle Tutoring program, which sees high-achieving Old Paradian students from the Class of 2025 tutoring our current VCE students, continues in Term 3. The program is open to all Year 10-12 students and will run on Tuesdays and Thursdays, from 3.30pm to 4.25pm in the VCE Study Centre (MQ28). Students who attend are welcome to receive help or simply study in the area. This is a great opportunity for VCE students to get extra assistance in meeting the demands of the final years of their schooling. This year’s tutors have excelled across English, Literature, all Mathematics subjects (General, Methods, and Specialist), all Science subjects (Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Psychology), and a broad range of other VCE subjects.
Many of our VCE subjects have access to Edrolo, across both Year 11 subjects (Units 1-2) and Year 12 subjects (Units 3-4). VCE subjects with content on Edrolo include:
Edrolo is an online learning platform that provides high-quality video lessons, revision materials, and practice questions. It is an important learning tool because it allows students to revisit key concepts at their own pace, pause and rewatch explanations, and strengthen their understanding outside of the classroom. This is particularly valuable in VCE, where consistent revision and consolidation of content is essential for success. Students can use Edrolo to prepare for upcoming topics before they are taught in class, to revise difficult concepts, or to support their study during assessment preparation. It also provides structured notes and quizzes that help students check their understanding and identify areas that need further work. When used regularly, Edrolo becomes a powerful supplement to classroom learning, helping students build confidence, improve retention, and develop stronger independent study habits.
Students who are absent for a SAC are reminded to obtain a medical certificate, to present to their teacher upon their return. Generally, missed SACs are rescheduled to Thursday afternoons and can go as late as 5.15pm, so students should avoid scheduling part-time work or other commitments on this day.
Holiday homework plays a crucial role in helping students across Years 10 to 12 stay connected to their learning and maintain momentum heading into the final stretch of the academic year. While the term break offers a well-earned chance to rest and recharge, it also provides a valuable window for consolidating knowledge, revising key concepts, and getting ahead in preparation for upcoming assessments. For senior students especially, using this time wisely can help reduce stress and build confidence as they approach their final SACs and VCE exams.
Completing holiday homework is also an important habit that supports long-term academic growth. For Year 10 and 11 students, it lays the foundation for more independent study practices that will be essential in Year 12. It allows students to reinforce skills, identify areas needing improvement, and return to class ready to engage with new content. We encourage all students to strike a healthy balance by taking time to rest, while also committing to the learning tasks set by their teachers and self-directed revision tasks.
