October
It continues to be a busy and exciting time at Plenty River College as we prepare for the 2027 school year!
We are continuing to welcome prospective students and their families through our Meet and Greet interviews. These meetings provide a wonderful opportunity for families to learn more about our college, explore the programs and pathways we offer, and discuss how we can best support each young person’s individual learning needs, interests and aspirations.
We are also receiving Expressions of Interest (EOIs) from families interested in our proposed Years 7–9 Junior School program for 2027. This is an exciting development for Plenty River College as we work towards expanding our educational offerings and providing younger students with access to our supportive, individualised and engaging learning environment, subject to VRQA registration approval.
With preparations well underway for both our Junior School (Years 7–9) and Senior School (Years 10–12), we look forward to welcoming new students and families into the Plenty River College community.
There are exciting times ahead for PRC, and we look forward to what 2027 will bring!
August
Welcome to our August edition of the Plenty River College newsletter.
As we move through Term 3, it has been wonderful to reflect on the many opportunities our students have embraced both inside and beyond the classroom. This term has been filled with practical learning experiences, community engagement, career exploration and activities that continue to build our students’ confidence, independence and connection to the wider community.
From volunteering and workplace experiences to excursions, pathway planning and hands-on programs, our students continue to demonstrate a willingness to step outside their comfort zones, try new things and consider what their future might look like. These experiences are an important part of learning at Plenty River College and support our commitment to preparing young people not only for further education and employment, but for life beyond school.
I would also like to acknowledge our graduating students, who are beginning to make important decisions about their next steps. Whether they are considering university, TAFE, employment or another pathway, we are incredibly proud of how they are approaching this next chapter and look forward to supporting them as they prepare for life beyond PRC.
Thank you to our dedicated staff, families and community partners who continue to create meaningful opportunities for our students. Your support and encouragement play an important role in helping our young people grow, learn and recognise what they are capable of.
I hope you enjoy reading about some of the wonderful things happening across our College.
