Galen Catholic College is pleased to announce the introduction of a HeadStart Program for 2011. The aim of the program is to begin instruction in VCE subjects in both Years 11 and 12 so students can commence the 2012 school year ready to do their best. These classes are compulsory.
HeadStart will begin at the conclusion of Year 10 and Year 11 exam period. Students will attend their new classes where they will be introduced to the coursework and begin the content involved. HeadStart orientation including the timetable for the two weeks will be given out in the first introductory session. Holiday homework tasks and preparation for School Assessed Tasks and Coursework will be given.
For Year 10 and Year 11 students the first day of Headstart will be Tuesday November 29th.  Students are expected to be in full school uniform (including hats) for the duration of the Headstart Program.
