College Leadership Team

Dear Parents and Carers,
As we begin our final term for the year, I would like to extend my sincere thanks to Mrs Louise Shields, Mrs Leah Dewar and Mrs Eloise Harnett for their outstanding leadership and support while I was on Long Service Leave. I greatly appreciate all they did to ensure the College continued to operate smoothly and successfully during my absence. Their dedication, commitment and care for our students, staff and families are deeply valued.
It has been wonderful to return and see the many achievements and successes across our College community. I look forward to reconnecting with students, families and staff and catching up with many of you at our end-of-year celebrations and events.
I would also like to offer my sincere congratulations to our incoming College Leaders for 2027. We have an exceptional group of young people stepping into these leadership roles, and I am confident they will lead with integrity, service and enthusiasm. Their commitment to our College community is inspiring, and I have no doubt that 2027 promises to be an outstanding year under their leadership.
Our Year 12 students recently concluded their learning days in such meaningful and memorable ways. As they now prepare for their external examinations, I extend my very best wishes and encouragement. We are proud of all they have accomplished, and I look forward to celebrating their journey and formally farewelling them at our Graduation Mass.
This term promises to be another busy and rewarding one, filled with rich learning opportunities, special events and opportunities to celebrate the many gifts and talents of our students. I look forward to sharing these experiences with you all in the weeks ahead.
In faith, hope and love,
Kerry Manders
Principal
