Junior Secondary
An update on recent events in the Junior Secondary World.
Year 9 PPP:
It was wonderful to see such strong engagement from our students and families at our recent PPP meetings! These valuable conversations help our Year 9 students reflect on their goals, strengths, and interests as they prepare to enter their senior phase of learning.
If you missed your scheduled PPP meeting, please contact the school to arrange a catch-up session – it’s important that every student has the chance to plan their pathway and feel supported.
At RVSSC, we’re proud to offer a wide range of senior pathways, including ATAR, VET, school-based apprenticeships and traineeships, and specialist programs – ensuring every student can pursue a future that aligns with their passions and potential.
Excellence Academies:
We are hosting our third and FINAL round of trials for the Excellence Academies. Parents, please make sure to complete the following steps to ensure your child is approved as a trialist for one of the Excellence Academies.

Ripley Valley Esports Update
FUSE Cup – Rocket League
Our Ripley Valley Esports athletes are hard at work preparing for the upcoming FUSE Cup Rocket League Championship. The team has been putting in extra training sessions, refining their passing plays, aerial shots, and team communication to ensure we bring our best to the competition.
Flight Simulator Experience
We’ve taken our simulation setup to the next level! This term, students have been able to experience DCS with a VR headset — the same program used by the Royal Australian Air Force for training. This immersive experience has been a huge hit with our students, giving them a taste of real-world aviation challenges.
QE Ekka Esports Event
We’re excited to announce that Ripley Valley will be participating in the QE Ekka Esports Showcase! Our students will compete across multiple titles, including:
- Rocket League
- EAFC 25
- NBA 2K25
- Brawlhalla
- Sim Racing
This is a fantastic opportunity for our players to represent the school, test their skills against strong competition, and showcase the growing talent in our Esports Academy.
In Term 3, our Football Academy Students (and staff) are doing an outstanding job in relevant competitions, but also members competing at QSS State Champs and students being selected in Met West Futsal Teams!
