Welcome back to the 2024 schooling year! 

I welcome all new and existing families to our Ripley Valley SSC College Community. I hope your students are excited and looking forward to a brand new schooling year. There are many key events that happen throughout the year in the Junior Secondary World, however, I want to touch upon the 'bigger' events that happen each term.

Year 9 PPP:

As a part of Ripley Valley State Secondary College's commitment to student success, all Year 9 students and their parent/carer will participate in a Pathway Preparation Plan (PPP) meeting. This meeting is a critical aspect of the transition into the Senior Phase of Learning. The Pathway Plan is finalised at a compulsory interview held with a member of the College's Leadership Team. At the interview Year 9 students and their parent/carer will have the opportunity to discuss future pathways, study options and career goals for your child's future education.

All previous presentations, materials and resources can be found on our College website by clicking the link below. The PPP Meetings will be held on Wednesday 24th July (Week 3, Term 3).
