Marden Senior College

June Update

As we head into the completion of semester one, I take this opportunity to remind students and parents of arrangements for the remainder of Term 2. The purpose of these arrangements is to use our combined resources to facilitate the best learning outcomes for students who are completing SACE 10-credit subjects in semester 1. There is little to no impact on students undertaking SACE Stage 2 subjects (except 10-credit subjects like the Research Project).
