No.14 Assistant Principal’s Update
Dear Parents, Students and
Community Members,
2016 is now well and truly underway
and the senior students are feeling
this more than ever with first
semester almost done, the what
seems to be endless SACs and the
rapidly approaching mid- year exams
for Years 10 and 11. GAT preparation
is also underway for students
studying Units 3-4. Semester Two is
fast approaching and is due to begin
in just a few short weeks for our
senior students, prior to the mid-year
break.
For our Year 12 students this last few
weeks of Semester One really does
represent the beginning of the end.
One short semester of secondary
schooling is all that is left. It will fly
by!
Organisation, planning and STUDY
are the keys to success over the next
few months. Use the time you have
left at school wisely to help prepare
for the final
examinations.
Planning and
p r e p a r a t i o n
now will help
for the end of
year exams. Time
now is precious, use it wisely. Use
your teachers’ expertise, use your
study period effectively. Start your
final revision now, do not put if off.
On another note all students have
recently completed this year’s
Attitudes to School Survey where
students have the opportunity to
reflect on their school. Mordialloc
College always has outstanding
results in this survey and we look
forward to this year’s results
sometime in Term Three. We will
again be feeding back this
information to students and the
community as we constantly strive for
excellence in everything we do.
Second semester is a time of change
for students in Years 9 and 10 with
new elective choices. Watch out at
your year level assemblies for
updates and further information
about this process.
Finally I would like to congratulate
our Year 7 students who are on their
way to completing their first semester
as secondary school students. They
have all settled in really well and
have been a fantastic addition to the
Mordialloc College community.

CALLING FOR ENTRIES
Create a 1-minute film about
‘Diversity’ and win one of
two $1000 cash prizes! ATOM and ClickView are proud to present the inaugural 1-Minute Film Competition.
Australian and New Zealand primary and secondary–school students are invited to make a 1-minute short film or animation,
and win fantastic prizes in the process.
The theme for this year’s competition is ‘Diversity’. What is diversity? What are some of the ways in which people are
different from one another? How does diversity make our community strong?
Students can be creative with the theme: they can include it in
their film as a spoken line, in the background, as a caption or in some other way.
To enter the 1-Minute Film Competition, students must create a 1-minute short film and submit it into one of the following two
categories:
• Primary Schools/Students
• Secondary Schools/Students
The two first-place prizes include $1000 in cash! Other prizes will be announced soon.
The 1-Minute Film Competition website includes the competition rules, online entry system and a comprehensive teaching
resource.
