VCE VCAA Exams Congratulations Year 12
Our Year 12 students have now officially completed their VCE VCAA exams, and we could not be prouder. This year has taken resilience, commitment and a whole lot of determination, and you showed up every step of the way. Early mornings, late night revision, powering through on the tough days, you gave it everything you had.
VCE results will be released on Thursday 11 December from 7.00 am. Whatever those numbers say, they are only one chapter in your story, not the whole book. What matters most is the growth, grit and maturity you have shown throughout the year.
We are incredibly proud of every one of you and cannot wait to celebrate the next steps in your journey.
Year 12 Graduation Night A Night to Remember
What an unforgettable evening. Our Year 12 Graduation Night at GMHBA Stadium truly felt like something special. The venue looked incredible, the atmosphere was buzzing and our graduates absolutely shone. The suits, the dresses, the hairstyles, it was like watching 120 rising stars walk the red carpet.
Families and friends filled the room with pride as students celebrated this milestone surrounded by the people who have encouraged, supported and cheered them on for years. The joy in the room was impossible to miss, and the photo count is probably still climbing.
Some standout moments from the night included,
• Mrs Martin’s heartfelt Year 12 speech with her student support crew proudly standing beside her
• The signing of names slideshow
• The glow up comparison on the photo wall
• The What do I want to be when I grow up notes from Year 7 which were guaranteed laughs
• The photo booth which was one of the busiest places in the building
To the Class of 2025, you have grown, strived, overcome challenges and made your school proud. Cheering you across that stage was an honour.
Year 11 into 12 Orientation Buckle Up for 2026
Our new Year 12 students have already stepped up with energy and enthusiasm. Orientation is underway, classes have begun, Google Classrooms are live, and the new adventure is officially in motion.
And yes, holiday homework has been assigned.
No, it is not optional.
Yes, your teachers will notice if it was completed the night before.
This transition marks the start of a huge year, and the way the students have embraced it has been fantastic. They are already getting used to the expectations, routines and independence that Year 12 brings. A strong, organised summer will ensure they start 2026 with confidence.
If you need help or have questions, reach out to your teacher. Supporting you is exactly what they are here for.
Year 12 Leadership Camp Ballarat Bound
The countdown is officially on. Our 2026 Year 12 cohort will begin their final year with the Year 12 Leadership Camp at Federation University in Ballarat during the first week of school.
This camp is one of the highlights of the senior school journey, dorm style living, leadership workshops, inspiring presenters and the moment every student realises Ballarat is much colder than expected. Bring warm clothes, then bring extras.
A quick reminder for families,
• Please submit all forms and payments through Compass
• Ensure medical information is up to date
• Check Google Classroom for the packing list and updates
• Attendance is essential because this camp sets the tone for the entire year
For support with anything camp related, Mrs Martin in the Senior Sub School is ready to help.
Year 10 into 11 Orientation Welcome to Senior School
Our Year 10 students have officially stepped into Senior School life, and they have made a brilliant start.
VCE students have launched straight into Units 1 and 2 with confidence and enthusiasm and a healthy respect for holiday homework. VM students are already planning their Structured Workplace Learning for 2026 and making impressive progress on their first projects.
This orientation period is all about stepping up, learning new expectations, gaining independence and discovering the opportunities ahead. We have been extremely impressed with the positivity, maturity and effort already shown.
What is Ahead
Whether you are celebrating the end of Year 12, stepping into Year 11 or preparing for Unit 3, the message is the same,
Stay organised. Ask for help. Back yourself. Embrace the journey ahead.
The year 2026 is shaping up to be an exciting year in the Senior Sub School and this is only the beginning.
