A reminder for anyone with Year 12 students that we are hosting a series of ‘practise exam’ opportunities at ACC on Saturday afternoons in October. It will be a great chance for students to get used to study conditions and set aside some time to practise any exam they choose.
The cost is $15. Book in here.
We think this is a fabulous new initiative and would love your help to spread the word.
If you have family doing VCE you might be interested in booking them in to our simulated exam experiences on Saturday mornings throughout October.
They can bring a practise exam paper or two along and we’ll provide 3 hours of strictly timed active supervision to help students:
Get on with actually doing some practise exams
Get used to managing their time in exams, and
Feel more comfortable with formal exam conditions.
Sounds good? Book in here. The sessions will run from 9am-12pm. The cost is $15.
Cycling is a favourite pass time of many in our neighbourhood. We have so many great bike paths and loads of great places to head to with the family by bike.
Book yourself and your kids into this workshop to maintain your bikes and have the peace of mind that your kids also know how to take care of their chain should it slip off.
Here is the link to book your spot.

Our upcoming Bike Repair Workshop runs on Saturday 28th October at 10am here at the Alphington Community Centre and costs $25.

ABCD check: the essential safety check before every ride.
Bike fit: how to set your seat at the correct height, and other adjustment related issues.
Inner tube replacement: what to do when you get a flat tyre, what essentials to carry when riding.
Puncture repair: how to use a patch-kit to patch a punctured tube (better for the environment).
Brake adjustment: how to check and adjust your brakes, or replace brake pads as needed.
If time allows and if it is of interest to the group, disc brake adjustment, care, maintenance, decontaminating, and pad replacement
Chain replacement: what to do if your chain comes off during a ride.
