Principal's Report           

     

Memorable experiences, outstanding achievements and plenty to celebrate!

As we approach mid term 4, it is wonderful to reflect on the many achievements, experiences and celebrations that have brought our Scoresby Secondary College community together over recent weeks.

A significant milestone has been reached by our Year 12 students, who are nearing the completion of their final VCE examinations and bringing their formal secondary schooling journey to a close.

I would like to congratulate them on their commitment, perseverance and efforts throughout their final year.   Their behaviour during celebrations has been exemplary, culminating in a celebratory Valedictory Dinner. We wish them all the best for a very bright future.

Our Year 12 Valedictory Dinner provided a fitting opportunity to celebrate this cohort, recognise their individual and collective achievements, and reflect on the friendships, experiences and memories they have created during their time at Scoresby Secondary College. It was a wonderful evening, and I thank the staff and families who helped make the occasion so special.

There has also been plenty of energy and enthusiasm across the college, with our Mini Olympics providing students with opportunities to demonstrate teamwork, sportsmanship and school spirit, accompanied by several teacher v students sporting occasions as we farewell our delightful year 12 cohort. 

It is always pleasing to see students and staff come together in such a positive way, building connections and strengthening the sense of community that makes Scoresby Secondary College special.

Our Year 9 students have just set out on their City Experience, exploring Melbourne, navigating the public transport network and camping at Melbourne Zoo. 

This experience will provide valuable opportunities for students to develop independence, confidence and practical life skills, while discovering some of the many attractions our city has to offer.

Slight school uniform adjustment – Students who have physical education or sporting classes are able to wear the official sports uniform to and from school on scheduled days.  

Depending upon the weather, this can be the official sports polo and shorts, or on colder weather days, the official track pant, sports polo and shell jacket.  It is preferred that students wear black runners to accompany the sports uniform.

As we move towards the conclusion of the school year, I encourage all students to maintain their focus and make the most of the learning opportunities and celebrations still ahead. 

Our Orion Night being a major opportunity to celebrate student achievement and endeavour. 

There is much to be proud of across our college, and I thank our staff, students, parents and carers for their continued contribution to our community.

Finally, I am delighted to announce the appointment of Ms Michelle De Boer as the substantive Assistant Principal of Scoresby Secondary College. 

This is a significant appointment for our college, and I look forward to working alongside Michelle, our staff, students, and parents, as we continue to strengthen our learning culture, support the wellbeing and achievement of our students, and pursue our shared aspirations for the college community.  

Please join me in congratulating Michelle on her appointment.
