Shaping Your Student's Future: Your Critical Role in Academic Planning
As we approach a significant moment in your student's academic journey, we cannot overstate the importance of your involvement. The decisions made in the coming weeks will have a lasting impact on your student’s educational path and future opportunities.
Why Your Participation Matters:

The Power of Home Discussions:
We encourage you to engage in ongoing conversations with your student about their aspirations, strengths, and concerns. These discussions at home complement our school efforts and provide valuable insights that can guide decision-making.
For Year 10 Families: Special attention is needed as your students consider VCE Vocational Major and VET subject options. These choices can open doors to hands-on learning experiences and industry-specific skills.
Unable to Attend? If you can't make the scheduled events, please contact your Teacher Advisor immediately. We're committed to ensuring every student receives the guidance they need during this critical period.
Your active participation in this process is not just helpful—it's essential. Together, we can ensure your student makes informed decisions that align with their goals and potential.
We look forward to partnering with you in this important phase of your student’s educational journey.
