New Staff
Please help us welcome the following new staff to our community.
Mr Michael Bevan
Michael is excited to join Endeavour College leading the onsite IT Team.
After 7 years at Immanuel Lutheran College in a Senior IT role and recently in IT Management in the Not-for-Profit sector, he was keen to head back into the education sector.
With 25 years of IT experience behind him, Michael is looking forward to working with the IT Team, staff, students, and the broader Endeavour Community as we proceed into an exciting chapter over the next few years.

Trish is pleased to join Endeavour College in the Daily Organisation role on a 12-month contract. With more than 20 years of experience working across a variety of roles in schools, Trish brings a wealth of knowledge and looks forward to both contributing to and learning from the Endeavour community.
Outside of work, Trish enjoys staying active and creative through yoga, walking, craft projects, and spending time with family and friends.
In recent years, Trish has also developed a passion for travel and enjoys exploring different countries, cultures, and experiences.
Trish looks forward to becoming part of the College community, building connections with staff and students, and embracing the opportunities the year ahead will bring.

With 11 years of teaching experience and a strong focus on the Performing Arts, Josh has worked across all year levels from Reception to Year 12.

Outside of work, Sue is a proud mum of two sons and a grandmother to five.
She notes that doesn't leave her with much 'me time,' however, she enjoys walking, socialising, and gardening whenever given the chance.
Ms Gina Pan
Gina is excited to join Endeavour College as a Mathematics and Science teacher in Middle Years. She graduated from the University of Adelaide with a Master of Teaching, with experience working with students across Years 7 - 12.
Gina is passionate about supporting student development and is committed to foster engaging and meaningful learning experiences in the classroom. She looks forward to contributing to the school community and continuing to grow professionally throughout her teaching journey.
College Board Nominations
We are currently seeking nominations for positions on the School Board. Serving on the Board is a valuable opportunity to contribute to the future direction of our school, support strong governance, and work collaboratively with our community to ensure the best outcomes for our students.
We encourage parents and community members with a passion for education, strategic thinking, and a willingness to contribute their time and expertise to consider nominating. Diverse perspectives and experiences are highly valued, and all interested members of our school community are welcome to apply.
More information, including the nomination process can be found here.
Staff Car Park:
Pick-up and drop-off
We are aware that traffic flow in Mawson Lakes has some challenges, including the pick-up and drop-off peak times, particularly at the end of the school day.
However, parents are reminded that drop-off and pick-up in non-designated areas, especially the Staff Car Park on the Northern side of the College, is a safety risk.
We have had a number of near misses recently and, as student safety is imperative, I remind parents that our only designated pick-up and drop-off zone is the double lane Kiss and Drop on University Boulevard.
We also encourage parents to seek alternatives. These could include:
- Picking your child up at a time other than 3:15pm
- The Discovery Centre is open until 4:00pm daily
- The Mawson Lakes Library is open until late
- Parking locally and walking over to the College
Parking locally and having your child walk to you

Enrolment Update
As valued members of the Endeavour College community, we are committed to giving younger siblings every opportunity to be prioritised through our enrolment process.
To help us do this with confidence, we kindly ask families to ensure that applications have been submitted for all children who are yet to commence at the College. Please note that without a submitted application, we are unfortunately unable to guarantee sibling priority or enrolment.
Year 7, 2027 and Year 7, 2028 - For those who have not yet enrolled your younger child.
If you have a child who is currently in Year 6 and do not have a confirmed enrolment or have not submitted an application, please reach out to enrolments@endeavour.sa.edu.au as a matter of urgency.
At this stage your child will be prioritised, but we cannot guarantee an enrolment as our class list has been completed.
It is never too early to submit an enrolment application.
To submit an enquiry please use the following link on our College website Endeavour College Enrolment.
If you would like to update your child’s enrolment from a Year 7 entry to an expression of interest for the 2027 Junior School, or if you have any other enrolment questions, please contact the Enrolments Team via email - enrolments@endeavour.sa.edu.au
