Principals Report
Thank-you!
As we wrap up another incredible year at Belmont High School, I want to take a moment to thank our wonderful community for their unwavering support throughout 2024.
Tuesday night’s Awards Ceremony was a fitting tribute to the achievements of our amazing students across the year and a testament to the hard work, dedication, and spirit that defines our school.
To our students, families, and staff, I wish you a restful break and a safe and happy New Year. Thank you for being part of our journey this year, and we look forward to making 2025 even brighter and more successful for our students.
Take care and enjoy the well-deserved holiday season.
VCE Results
I am thrilled to celebrate the outstanding VCE results achieved by our Year 12 cohort this year. These are the best collective scores we have seen in over a decade, a true testament to the dedication and effort of our students and their teachers. Congratulations to all, and a special mention to those students who have now joined our prestigious 90’s Club. This is an incredible accomplishment, and we are so proud of your achievements.
2025 House Leaders
As part of a broader leadership restructure, we have made adjustments to all leading teacher positions, including significant movement within the House leadership team.
Our House system plays a pivotal role in fostering a sense of belonging and community within our school. We are confident that these changes will bring fresh perspectives and continued support for our students. Below are the staff members who will be leading your child’s House in 2025:
