Another term has flown by, and with only a week of classes left, I would like to wish everyone a happy and safe holiday period. There is now only a little more than 13 weeks of actual school time for students completing Year 12 subjects. This means that many students are about to enter a period of time which can be a bit of an emotional “rollercoaster” as they finish what has been 13 years of schooling.

For parents this period of time can also be a little confusing as we walk that fine line between pushing our children to achieve their best and making sure they are managing their stress. The best way to manage these things is to start revision early. In fact, students should be working out a revision plan now and starting to revise work from earlier in the year.

Mid-Year ReportsA mail out will be sent home during the last week of term. In that mail out will be a report on your child’s progress for the first six months of the year. I encourage parents to also use our Learning Management System (DayMAP) to access a more detailed summary of these results. If parents are having difficulty accessing the DayMAP portal, please contact the school.

SWAN HILL COLLEGE

On 3 June 2019, in front of more than 1000 guests, 290 award recipients were presented with Premier’s VCE Awards for their exceptional study outcomes in 2018.

These awards recognise students who have demonstrated outstanding achievement in the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE). Current Year 12 student, Daniel Hughes was there to receive his award as one of the top four students in the state for Physical Education. To say we are proud of Daniel is an understatement!

TOP FOUR IN THE STATE!

As part of helping you and your child make the best subject

choices, we formally invite you to our Subject Information

Evening in Harrison Hall.

The aim of the night is to help you understand how subject

selection works and equip you to assist your child through

this process. Your child will receive our 2020 Curriculum

Handbook during Term 3 which will help you do this.

After each session, Learning Leaders and subject teachers

will be assembled in designated areas throughout B

Block for parents and students to approach for further

information and to answer questions.

Further information about this evening and the subject

selection process will be posted home at the end of term.
