Principal's Report

A Strong and Positive Start to Term 4 

It’s been a wonderful start to Term 4 at Woodmans Hill Secondary College, full of energy, pride and celebration. Our students have returned focused and motivated, and it’s been fantastic to see such a positive tone across classrooms and the yard as we move into the final chapter of the school year. 

This week, we marked one of the most significant milestones on our school calendar – the Year 12 Final Assembly. It was a heartfelt event, filled with laughter, memories and gratitude as we farewelled the Class of 2025. The pride shown by our staff, students and families was evident in every moment, and it was a privilege to celebrate the achievements, growth and character of this remarkable group of young people. 

Adding to the highlights of the term was our Music Showcase, which once again reminded us of the incredible talent that exists within our school community. Students from all year levels took to the stage, sharing their passion, creativity and confidence through outstanding performances. From solo acts to full ensemble pieces, the night was a true celebration of artistic expression and teamwork – and a reflection of the rich culture of performing arts at Woodmans Hill Secondary College.  

We rounded out the week with our Year 12 Graduation Ceremony and Dinner, where families, staff and students came together to celebrate the journey of our graduating class. The evening was filled with warmth and pride as we looked back on their years at the college and forward to the exciting futures ahead. We are immensely proud of their accomplishments and the contribution they have made to our school community. 

These events are part of a growing suite of new traditions and celebrations at Woodmans Hill Secondary College that reflect the positive direction of our College. As we continue to evolve as a learning community, we are placing greater emphasis on shared moments that recognise achievement, connection and belonging. The Final Assembly, Music Showcase and Graduation Ceremony are all examples of how we are embedding meaningful celebrations into our school culture – occasions that bring us together, strengthen relationships, and create lasting memories for students and families alike. They reflect our collective commitment to building a school that honours effort, fosters pride and celebrates success in all its forms. 

As we continue through Term 4, we look forward to building on this positive momentum – celebrating success, supporting one another, and finishing the year with the same determination and optimism that have defined our start.
