What has been happening at PSC

Dear Parents and Community Members,

It is with mixed emotions that I write to you today to announce that my time as Acting Principal at Peninsula Specialist College has come to an end. It has been an absolute pleasure to work alongside the dedicated staff, enthusiastic students, and supportive parents during my time at the school.

Together with staff and School Council, we have achieved some significant changes that will lead to improved student outcomes, and I feel privileged to have had the opportunity to be a part of it all. I want to express my sincere gratitude to everyone who has made my time at the school so enjoyable and memorable.

As I leave, I want to assure you that the school remains committed to prioritising parent and community engagement. More information will be shared in the near future about the school's plans and initiatives, and I encourage you to stay connected and involved in the school community.

I am pleased to introduce Trevor Hodsdon, who will be taking over as Acting Principal. Trevor is an experienced principal who lives in the community and comes to us from Eastern Ranges School. He is passionate about education and has a wealth of knowledge and experience that will be invaluable to our school.

Please join me in welcoming Trevor to Peninsula Specialist College. I am confident that under his leadership, the school will continue to thrive and provide an exceptional education to our students.

Thank you for your ongoing support of our school. It has been a privilege to serve as Acting Principal, and I will always remember my time at Peninsula Specialist College with fondness

Term 1 Complete!

It's hard to believe that term one is already coming to a close, what a wonderful start to the school year it has been! Our students have been engaged in their learning and kept busy with special projects, swimming, athletics, basketball, camps and community access.

Thank you to all our wonderful teachers and staff who have made these activities possible, we are lucky to have them!

We have finished the the term with a wonderful Easter bonnet parade and were so excited to see so many family members/ carers come and celebrate with us!

Have a fun, safe and well deserved break and we will see you ready to learn in term two!
