Principal's Report

FAREWELL GLENN JENNER – ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL

I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge and thank Glenn Jenner for his dedication, commitment and contribution to the Greensborough College Community. Glenn has been at Greensborough College for almost 18 years and he has played a key role in the school improvement journey since he took on the Assistant Principal role five years ago. 

Over the years at our College Glenn has taught thousands of Greensborough College students in a range of subject areas particularly in the Arts and Food Technology.  Glenn is a passionate advocate for student voice, diversity and inclusion, rights and respectful relationships. Glenn has developed excellent relationships with students and families over the years and his influence has been profound with many.

He has held many leadership roles at the College including domain leader, year level coordinator and sub school leader. 

Glenn’s leadership of the School Wide Positive Behaviour Support work has been outstanding and the College was acknowledged and rewarded with the Bronze Award for this work, which was announced last week.  Glenn has led the Positive Climate for Learning Team on this journey and he has showcased this journey to our network and neighbouring schools. Congratulations to Glenn and the team on this wonderful achievement.

I will miss Glenn’s collegiality, loyalty, friendship and sense of humour and I wish him all the very best at Whittlesea Secondary College and in his future endeavours as he takes up his new position at the beginning of term 2.

COLLEGE LEADERS’ INDUCTION CEREMONY

This week we inducted our students as College Leaders for 2023.  Councillor Elizabeth Nealy, from Beale Ward in the City of Banyule, presented the badges and spoke to our students about her personal leadership journey and what it means to be a good leader. Our School Captains, Sarah Cairns and Chloe Grioli and School Vice-Captains, Jack Commandeur and Ebony Stuart, led the way on the evening. Our School Council President, Kate Lansbury, was also on hand to present badges and certificates to our SRC President, Ethan Barry, Junior College Captains, Eleni Dalianis and Jade Sun Zhang. Congratulations to all of our leaders and we look forward to you leading our students, representing our College and making a difference in 2022.

Cindi Carr has been a valuable member of the Education Support Staff since 2019 and she has worked tirelessly with our students in her classroom support role. Cindi has been a passionate advocate for our students and she has been dedicated and committed to her work at the College. I would like to thank Cindi for her being a positive, caring staff member and I wish her all the best as she embarks on the next leg of her career.
