Welcome to the start of a new school year

As we embark on the next phase of an exciting educational journey, we extend our warmest welcome to all families, both returning and new to our College community. The start of the academic year is filled with anticipation, hope, and enthusiasm, and this year is no different. We are delighted to have you with us and look forward to a year of growth, learning, and memorable experiences.

We are committed to providing an environment that fosters academic excellence, creativity, and holistic development. Our dedicated staff has been working tirelessly to prepare for the upcoming year, ensuring that our students receive the best education and support possible. From innovative teaching methods to engaging extracurricular activities, we strive to create a nurturing and stimulating atmosphere where every student can thrive. I challenge all students to seize every opportunity. Do not passively sit back and watch them pass you by. Instead, I encourage everyone to get involved, to explore new interests, to push the boundaries of your comfort zone in healthy and constructive ways. Join an extra-curricular team like Opti-Minds, audition for the musical cast, join a sporting team, and engage in activities that ignite your passions.  

As this new chapter begins, we encourage families to also get involved and stay connected with our College community. Whether through attending school events, participating in Learning Discussions or arranging parent-teacher meetings, or joining our FACE team (Family and Community Engagement), your involvement plays a crucial role in enriching the educational experience for our students.

We have a host of exciting events and activities planned for the year ahead, and we can't wait to share them with you. From academic competitions to cultural celebrations, there will be numerous opportunities for our students to showcase their talents and interests. Additionally, we are thrilled to introduce new pedagogical initiatives aimed at enhancing student learning and wellbeing.

We understand that starting a new school year can be both exciting and challenging, and we are here to support you every step of the way. Our College staff, including teachers, counsellors, and school officers, are always available to address any questions or concerns you may have. Together, we can ensure a smooth and successful transition into the new academic year.

Once again, welcome back to school! I am excited to see the Middle Years Plaza and classrooms filled with the energy and enthusiasm of our students. Let's make this school year one to remember, filled with achievements, friendships, and countless moments of joy.

Warm regards, 

Craig Cullen

Assistant Principal Middle Years
