Examinations

On Tuesday 16 June, many of our senior students sat the GAT. This formal assessment will form part of the moderation process for our students completing Unit 3 & 4 VCE subjects in 2026.

Over the month of June, our students have been busily preparing for and undertaking examinations across Years 8 to 11. We hope that all our students were able to put their best foot forward and demonstrate their developed learning within their subjects.

ACC Sport

Congratulations to all our sporting teams, their coaches and support staff on making ACC year-level grand finals this week and last week. A wonderful achievement and congratulations to our ACC premiers and to all our students for competing and representing the College this term. I am sure these games will provide fond memories of secondary school for many years to come. Good luck to our 1st XVIII AFL boys team competing in the Senior Division 1 Grand Final this afternoon.

Friday 26 June – Raising money for the Exodus Community and supporting our cultural colours

This Friday we conclude Term Two for our students. It is also an opportunity for the students and staff to wear colours of their cultural heritage and to possibly support their favourite team in the FIFA World Cup. Australia plays at 12.00pm on Friday and I am sure the majority of our students and staff will be cheering on the Socceroos.

By wearing casual clothes and showcasing the colours of your favourite country, our students and staff will donate a gold coin donation toward our annual fundraising initiative – to support the Exodus Community in Heidelberg West, who we have continued to support for many years through our weekly Brekky Van program.

Key dates in Term 3

Next term we look forward to welcoming you to the College for various College events. I have listed some of the events below that occur early in Term 3:

Thursday 23 July Subject Selection Evening and Tertiary Expo

Wednesday 29 July RTO Information Evening

Monday 3 August Staff Professional Learning Day (Student Free Day)

Tuesday 4 August Student Progress Interviews Online (VCE, VCE VM)

Relevant details will be communicated to families in due course.

We wish all our students a safe and relaxing holiday as we move toward the end of Term 2. The term concludes this Friday and Term 3 commences on Monday 13 July.
