WELCOME

 College Leadership Team

WELCOME TO 2025! 

The countdown to Day 1, Week 1 is just about done; congratulations Parents and Carers, you have successfully made it through the summer holiday period!!! We hope your child is ready and excited to return to school next week; we are certainly excited to welcome them back for a jam-packed 2025 academic year. 

As we hope you experienced, the holidays for us were a time of rest and renewal. We all took time over the break to enjoy the great outdoors and reconnect with friends and family. We encourage students to chat with us about the holidays; we would love to hear about their adventures. 

Our enthusiastic teaching staff have been busy preparing engaging lessons for our student's return on Wednesday next week. When you visit the college next, you will see that our maintenance team has also worked hard over Christmas. The school grounds are looking absolutely sensational; we thank the team for their tireless work.

This year, there is a new face in the College Leadership Team, along with plenty of familiar ones, too. We welcome Mrs Louise Shields to the role of Deputy Principal. We are sure you will enjoy meeting her this year. 

In the pages following, your Heads of Year have written to introduce themselves; please take a moment to read over their messages. Please also encourage your children to introduce themselves to the new teaching staff; it will no doubt be greatly appreciated! We look forward to talking with students and parents/carers throughout the year; please do not hesitate to reach out. 

All the best,

Principal Kerry Manders 

and the 2025 College Leadership Team
