HOLIDAY ADVICE

A reminder to VCE students: practice exams will take place over the first three days of the Term 3 holidays, and attendance is compulsory.

To our students: please take time to relax, reflect, and enjoy family and outdoor activities as the weather improves and daylight savings begins. Balance is important—so we also encourage you to establish a holiday study routine to revise, complete outstanding tasks, and prepare for a productive Term 4. The final Term is pivotal for student growth, with assessments designed to capture the knowledge and skills built throughout the year. Our College expects 12 months ’ growth in line with curriculum standards. The Progression Policy, available on our website, outlines the minimum standards and performance outcomes expected; all Secondary students have been briefed. Please stay safe, take care of one another, and return refreshed for an inspiring Term 4 filled with opportunities to celebrate the achievements of our students.

2026 CURRICULUM LEVIES PAYMENTS

Currently, 33% of families have made payments—similar to last year. We are very grateful to those who have contributed and remain mindful of the cost - of - living pressures many families face. These contributions directly support resources and opportunities that help students thrive and meet our high expectations. As a College we are committed to providing the best possible resources and school environment for students to thrive in at school and push the boundaries of high expectation – evidenced in the changes to our facilities over the last four years. School Council will explore alternate revenue - raising options for next year to ensure our programs remain sustainable. This may include reviewing camps, elective offerings that require payment, or adjusting the non - contribution levy. These measures will help maintain staffing ratios and resource requirements within budget.
