1 2017 YR 1 2 Study CONFERENCE Monday 6t1iFebruary Wednesday 8 th February Year 12 is going to be a significant and challenging year for your child. We believe that the Gleneagles VCE program is going to be rewarding, supportive and designed to get the best outcomes possible for all VCE students. To ensure your child has the best chance of starting the year well and equipped with all the skills needed to succeed, we will be holding a Year 12 Study Conference at various Universities within Melbourne. The Year 12 Study conference will not require students to stay overnight, instead they will be required to travel to and from the various Universities each day according to the plans detailed below: DATE VENUE TRAVEL TO VENUE VIA TRAVEL FROM VENUE VIA Monday 6 th February RMIT City Campus Public Transport * Public Transport * Tuesday 7 th February Deakin University Burwood Public Transport * Public Transport * Campus Wednesday 8 th February Monash University Peninsula Campus Bus from school Bus to school * Specific public transport timetables will be provided to students at a later date to assist them in planning their daily travel arrangements. Students will be required to travel with a mobile phone or with a fellow student who has a mobile phone and staff mobile numbers will be provided to students in case of emergency. The aims of the Year 12 Study Conference include: - Focussing attention on the VCE Year - VTAC application process - Stress management - Key dates - Time management - Study skill techniques It is felt that these aims can be best achieved away from school and the classroom. Students benefit greatly from a good working relationship with each other and with staff. A number of Year 12 teachers will be present throughout the Conference to assist with discussion groups, tutorials and coaching in their subject fields. It is an expectation that all year 12 students will attend all three days of the Conference. To reduce the cost to families the school is subsiding the study skills consultant costs as we believe this Conference is essential in setting the tone and expectation we have for all our VCE Students. If you have any questions or concerns regarding payment for the Conference please do not hesitate to contact Matthew Neal (Senior School Leader) on PH The cost of the Study Conference is $25.
