Wangaratta's year 12 VCE students are immersed in the final full week of classes in their secondary school lives.

While Galen Catholic College year 12s have been engaged in a series of 'Spirit Week' activities leading up to their graduation event on Friday evening, Wangaratta High School and Cathedral College Wangaratta students will return on Monday and Tuesday for their final days and celebrations.

Students have been busy in recent weeks with practice exams and finishing the last of their coursework while preparing for the milestone of their final day of classes, and are now settling into exam revision.

Languages oral exams and performance exams have already been completed or are under way, with the first cohort-wide exam, English, set for Tuesday, 28 October.

The VCE exam schedule runs through to Wednesday, 19 November.

Wangaratta High School leading teacher senior years, Meg Whatley, said as well as preparing for exams, members of the school's year 12 cohort were finalising plans for 2026 gap years and for entering the workforce, including starting apprenticeships.

Ms Whatley said the last official classes for WHS students would be on Monday and Tuesday, followed by a celebration breakfast conducted by staff on Wednesday morning.

"During these (final) days, students will have a bit of fun by dressing up to a different theme on each day," she said.

Cathedral College's main celebrations will also be on Monday and Tuesday.

Wangaratta High School head prefect and year 12 student Alison Jones, who will move to Melbourne next year to study science at the University of Melbourne and plans to work in the health/medical field, said it hadn't hit her yet that this was her last full week at school.

"These last two months have gone by really fast," she said.

"I am both nervous and excited to graduate and move away to uni next year.

"I did three unit 3/4 subjects last year, so I'm not as scared for the exams because I know what to expect, but it doesn't make them any easier, there is still plenty of study to do."
