Principal's Report 

As we conclude Term 2 and the first half of the 2025 school year, I am proud to reflect on the energy, growth, and achievement that have characterised this semester at Dromana College.

Our students have once again demonstrated a strong commitment to their learning, supported by dedicated staff and an engaged school community. I commend all students on their efforts throughout the term and sincerely thank our families for the continued support you provide each day.

The exam period for our Year 10, 11, and 12 students was conducted smoothly and professionally. We were particularly impressed by the focus and maturity shown during these assessments. For students undertaking a Unit 3 & 4 subject, the recent General Achievement Test (GAT) marked an important milestone in their VCE journey. I encourage all students to reflect on their performance, seek feedback, and work closely with their teachers to set clear, purposeful goals for Semester 2.

Beyond the classroom, Term 2 has been rich with cultural, creative, and sporting opportunities. Asia Week was once again a standout celebration—full of colour, culture, and community spirit. Thank you to our Languages faculty for leading this event with such care and energy. The return of the Year 8 Food and Culture evenings was another highlight, offering a vibrant showcase of student engagement and learning.

Our Performing Arts program continues to thrive, with soirees, art exhibitions, and music events all highlighting the exceptional creativity of our students. Congratulations to all involved, and a sincere thank you to the Performing Arts team for their tireless dedication.

Sport remains a strong pillar of life at Dromana College. From stellar performances in Cross Country, Aerobics, and interschool competitions to our role as host of the State School Cycling event and Mountain Bike Race, students have demonstrated incredible resilience, teamwork, and determination. A heartfelt thank you to the wonderful staff team who made these events possible, and congratulations to all participating students.

As we approach the break, we send our best wishes to the students and staff embarking on our Japanese, Indonesian, and Central Australia tours. These experiences are rich in learning, cultural exchange, and personal growth, and we look forward to hearing about your adventures upon your return.

As Semester 2 begins, I encourage all students to embrace the fresh start it brings—whether by striving for academic improvement, stepping outside their comfort zone, or supporting a peer. Every small step forward contributes to our shared success.

Thank you again for your ongoing support and partnership. I wish everyone a safe, restful, and enjoyable holiday break, and I look forward to another successful term ahead.
