LEADERSHIP TEAM

Dear Parents, Guardians and students,

We are now officially past the halfway mark of term 4. The term is going really well and I would like to make particular mention to our students who have been extremely busy completing their VCE exams. The VCE exam period is scheduled to conclude early next week. We wish all students the very best on their remaining exams.

This week we have seen the commencement of our Year 7 Get Reddy Come and Try Sessions. Grade 6 students have begun visiting our school to sample the great subjects and activities on offer at our school. I would like to acknowledge the work Mrs. Jen Chatfield has done in co-ordinating the come and try sessions. This is a great initiative that ensures a smooth and successful transition to Red Cliffs Secondary College in 2025. 

We are excited to  officially announce the student leaders who will be representing our school’s core values in 2025. Following our Ambassador application process, we are proud to introduce our 2025 Values Ambassadors alongside our College Captains, Jamaine Lawson-Chapman and Raya Robb.

The following students have been chosen to uphold and promote the essential values to represent the student body in 2025:

Resilience Ambassador:   Bianca Everett

Compassion Ambassador:  Jaye Kiernan

Success Ambassador:  Cecelia Sinaki Krishna-Hona

Citizenship Ambassador:  Hanna Flentjar

Inclusion Ambassador:  Amelia Davis

First Nations Ambassador:  Summer Nalder & Matilda Madigan

These outstanding students will work together to create a positive and inclusive school culture, supporting and inspiring their peers as they demonstrate the strength of these values throughout the year.

We look forward to the leadership, dedication, and passion each of these students will bring to their roles. Please join us in congratulating them as they prepare for an exciting year ahead!

An important announcement has just gone out on Compass and our social media accounts regarding 2025 School Uniform Requirements.  Starting in 2025, all students will be required to wear the school uniform, including the shorts and pants with the official Red Cliffs Secondary College logo. To help ensure everyone is ready for next year, a pop-up store will be available at Red Cliffs Secondary College for uniform purchases.
