From the Principal Class Team
Deep cleaning of the school
We want to thank our cleaning company, Facilities First Australia, and their fabulous team, for the work they have done to ensure that our school is thoroughly cleaned and safe for use.
The attached photos show the extent of their work, and go a long way to enabling us to feel confident when we return onsite.
Welcome
We are really pleased to welcome Lalith Buddadhasa to our Wellbeing Team as a student counsellor and Samantha Partridge to Individual Needs.
Lalith will be working with the Middle Sub School students, Coordinators and staff, and Samantha Partridge will be supporting students with online learning. We look forward to getting to know both of them and to working with them.
To learn more about Lalith and Samantha, please see the New staff section of this newsletter.
Years of Service
Each year, we recognise the contributions of our teaching and education support staff to St Albans Secondary College, and to Victorian Government School education, by acknowledging their years of service in school education.
This year, the celebration was very different: it took place online, and there was no delicious morning tea to share. Nevertheless, it was a celebration.
Congratulations to the following staff who, through their individual and combined service, have influenced the lives of so many young people; they have inspired a love of learning; supported colleagues and families; and have contributed to St Albans Secondary College and other schools in so many ways..
