The letter includes information on:
For all Year 10 2020 students, classes will be held for one week from Monday 9th to Thursday 12th December 2019, with Friday 13th December, 2019 being a Transition Interview day for parents and students.
On Day 1 of Orientation, students will receive a Passport booklet which can be used as a reference guide and a printed document with their text book hire fee and relevant subject fees to what your student has selected for 2020.
If you have never accessed the school portal (formally known as the parent portal) or not logged on in the past six months you will receive an SMS during Orientation with your username and password which will allow you to access the school portal. For those parents who have accessed the school portal within the last six months you will not receive an SMS and can continue to use your current login details. We recommend that you change your password every six months for security purposes. If you have forgotten your password, you can contact the office to have the password reset which will be sent via SMS to the contact mobile number we have recorded for you.
In 2020, the on-line ordering system which is through the School Portal will be used for the ordering of text books via the book hire scheme and subject fees where they are applicable. The system can be accessed by clicking the school portal link (refer log-in details above and there are log-in instructions on the College website on the www.wssc.vic.edu.au homepage.) Once logged on, your student booklist requirements will appear based on the subjects selected. The complete 2020 booklist for all year levels is available on the College website for your information.

Early in 2020, your child’s Graduate Program (GP) Teacher will discuss with their class the document relating to student rights and responsibilities, which details what the College expects from each student who attends the College. Each student will be required to sign documents acknowledging their acceptance of this agreement. Students should be aware that the same expectations as outlined in the document are required for Orientation. Our College has established itself as a leading learning institution in Wodonga and looks forward to providing your child’s education requirements in 2020.
If you have any queries on the above, please contact our College office.
