From the Principal

CESC is committed to the practices and values surrounding child safety. All procedures, measures and practices have been developed in accordance with Ministerial Order No 870 -Child Safe Standards- Managing the risk of child abuse in schools.

Cranbourne East Secondary College is committed to the safety and wellbeing of all children and young people. This is the primary focus of our care and decision-making. Cranbourne East Secondary College has zero tolerance for child abuse.

Cranbourne East Secondary College pride is committed to providing a child safe environment where children and young people feel safe, and their voices are heard about decisions that affect their lives. With particular attention being given to the cultural safety of Aboriginal children and children from culturally and/or linguistically diverse backgrounds, as well as the safety of children with a disability.

Every person involved in Cranbourne East Secondary College has a responsibility to understand the important and specific role he/she plays individually and collectively to ensure that the wellbeing and safety of all children and young people is at the forefront of all they do and every decision they make.

Dear Parents and members of the Cranbourne East SC Community,

Many thanks to our fantastic team of teachers and talented young artists from The Arts/Design Technology Department, who provided an outstanding display of high-quality work at the Open HeART exhibition on Wednesday night. The wide and varied talents of our students are showcased throughout the year at our School Production, Music Instrumental Night, Multi-cultural Assembly and lunchtime performances. Each year these are brought together and celebrated at our annual Open HeART exhibition. The diversity of talent on show is a real tribute to our dedicated team of Design Technology and The Arts teachers and something we are very fortunate to have and proud of at Cranbourne East Secondary College.

As this year draws to a close for our Year 12 students and Year 11 students, the pressure for Year 12 students continues to build. I encourage those students to continue to study hard and to balance study with rest breaks in preparation for their final exams. How much our students commit themselves to their studies over this time can make a significant difference to their final score and future learning pathway. My message to our year 12 students is to hang in there: we really believe in you and please remember that your final score doesn’t define you, it is doing your best that counts. Knowing how to do your best in life is the best predictor of success for the future, not your ATAR. I would also like to wish the Year 12 VCAL students all the best in their future pathway, knowing they leave us with the necessary skills and knowledge to be successful in both work and life.

Mandee Strickland
