Dear all, welcome to week 1 - Term 1 2015
We were very excited to begin the new school year today. Over 200 new students began at the College today. This includes our Year 7, Soccer, Tennis, International and local student populations. It is a wonderful endorsement of the College that so many students are selecting us as their school of choice. We are close to full at Years 8, 9 and 10. Subject choices are now quite limited through VCE as well, and we created an additional class at Year 7 to ensure small class sizes for our Year 7 students as they commence their Secondary School journey.
We welcome all of our new families to the Forest Hill College Learning Community. With growth in enrolments, we also welcome a large number of new staff.
We are justifiably proud of the class of 2014's achievements. They lifted our percentage of students who achieved ATARs above 90 by 7% and our median (average) study score also lifted quite considerably. The vast majority of our students received first round University offers. We are proud to announce that a number also received scholarships to study, such was the quality of their applications. Takumi was one of those students who received a scholarship.
Over the break much work has gone into developing our learning spaces. We now have air conditioning in Science, all classrooms in the Middle Years Learning Centre, all classrooms except 1 in the Later Years Learning Centre and most of A Block. We installed sound acoustic treatments into all classrooms in the Middle Years Learning Centre to ensure excellent acoustics in these classes. The new Strength and Conditioning Room has been completed and the Gym floor re polished. We have also renovated the accessible student toilet and renovations to the Year 7 Learning Centre and student toilets should commence some time across the first semester.

Our class of 2014 was celebrated today at the College Assembly. Our Dux, Khoa was presented to the students. Three of our very top performing VCE students from 2014, Khoa, Jason and Takumi spoke to the student body about how they succeeded in 2014. They spoke of vision, persistence, hard work and a healthy balanced lifestyle. We are justifiably proud of the class of 2014's achievements. They lifted our percentage of students who achieved ATARs above 90 by 7% and our median (average) study score also lifted quite considerably.
