Year 7 Transition

On Tuesday December 13th Horsham College will host its 2023 Year 7 students for the ‘Statewide Transition day’ This is an exciting day for the students and staff at the College as the students have a further taste of secondary life before starting in 2023. A very big thank you to Ms. Heather Deayton, Mr. Ben Murphy, Ms. Susan McKenry, Ms. Millie Down, Ms. Bonita O’Brien and Ms. Bridie Feehan for their work in arranging the transition and ensuring the day is successful for all students.

Merry Xmas and Safe Holidays

I would like to on behalf of the College Staff and Leadership Team say thank you to our entire College community for your work and commitment to the College in 2022.

In particular I would like to thank my amazing PA Judi Landwehr for keeping me looking semi organised, Melissa Trudel for stepping into the Finance Manager’s role this year and doing a fantastic job and Laetitia Livingstone for your work throughout the busiest staffing recruitment period we have had since I arrived at the College.

It would also be remiss for me not to acknowledge my brilliant Principal Class team of Bridie Feehan and Adam Ross, Louise Amor, Melissa Twaddell, Liam Offer and Meg Woolford and our School Council Executive of Rowan Smith, Anthony Schache and Shaun Casey. Your commitment to this College is inspiring and your friendship and guidance to me immeasurable.

I would also like to thank my wife Charlotte and children Elite, Che, Eamon and Rian and my Mum Bev. Your support and encouragement to do this job has not been without cost and I love and appreciate you all for allowing me to continue to follow my passion.

It has been amazing year full of challenges and success and I am looking forward to 2023 and the opportunity it will undoubtedly provide.

I hope and wish all have a very Merry Christmas with family and loved ones and please be safe.
