VCAA Examinations

The VCAA examinations have almost finished with just a few exams to go. It has been wonderful to witness all of our students arriving prepared for their examinations and ready to demonstrate their learning. We wish students all the best with the remaining exams.

As students await their much anticipated results, we encourage them to take the time to reflect on the lessons that they have learned throughout their schooling. Education is measured by more than an ATAR. A Kilbreda education aims to nurture young people to be ready to take their place in the world, as strong and kind individuals.

Courage. Kindness. Friendship. Character. These are the qualities that define us as human beings, and propel us, on occasion, to greatness. R.J Palacio (Author of ‘Wonder’)
