Deputy Principal Staff and Students Report

End of 2024 School Year

It has been a very successful year for our community and a joy to be working together with students and families. I would like to thank all the students for their fantastic efforts this year and for the great support and partnership of our families. It is a gift and blessing to work with you.

As students in Year 11 & 12 start FastStart and our Year 7-9 students are completing their last pieces of work, we encourage students to continue to work hard and keep up the effort and intensity to the end. We have a holiday in two weeks we as a community we continue working hard, business as usual until the break.

We congratulate our Year 10 & 11 students on their efforts in their end of year examinations. Well done, and we hope the reports give results reflective of your efforts and work.

Looking Ahead

We recently sent a letter to families expressing our desire to further improve our community in 2025 and our need to be working together in partnership with Parents/Carers/Guardians as the first educators of your children. We reiterate our need to work as a team and are looking forward to your support.

In 2025, in the all important areas of Child Safety, we will continue to work hard on this important issue. To further develop our work, we would like to invite interested Parents/Carers/Guardians to be a part of our Child Safety Team and attend some of our meetings. If you would like to be involved in working with the Child Safety Team please contact me at the College via email Justin.Duckett@nazareth.vic.edu.au
