The College Careers team will be on hand to support students from Monday if preferences for University and/or TAFE need to be changed.

The College, along with students and their families will celebrate the Class of 2023 and student success at the Graduation and Valedictory Awards Night on Friday 15th December.

End of Year Awards Ceremony 7-11

Our end of year awards ceremony for students in Years 7-11 will be held on Wednesday 13th December in the College M-Wing.  This is a great night to celebrate the success of our 2023 students, and I look forward to seeing as many members of our community there as possible during this busy time of the year.

The Year 7-11 Awards Ceremony will begin at 7.00pm.

Year 7 Transition

Tuesday 12th December is the Statewide Transition Day and Horsham College will host its 2024 Year 7 students. This is an exciting day for students and staff at the College as students have a further taste of secondary life before starting the following year. A very big thank you to Ms. Heather Deayton, Ms. Susan McKenry, Mr. Gareth Hose, Mr. Cameron Bruce, Ms. Kara Johnson, and Mr.  Shannon Argall for their work in arranging the transition and ensuring the day is successful for all students.

The College has invested heavily again in ensuring there is a high level of support and assistance for students in 2024 and we are looking forward to all of our Year 7s having a great year.

Happy and Safe Holidays

On behalf of the College Staff and Leadership Team I would like to say thank you to our entire College community for your work and commitment to the College throughout 2023.  

I would like to acknowledge the Principal Class team of Shannon Argall, Louise Amor, Melissa Twaddell and Liam Offer for their support, in particular throughout Term 4, as well as our School Council Executive of Brett Thompson, Anthony Schache and Shaun Casey.  Your commitment to this College is inspiring and your friendship and guidance to me immeasurable. I would be remiss if I did not acknowledge and thank Rob Pyers for his leadership of Horsham College throughout the first three terms of 2023. His leadership is greatly respected, and appreciated, by not only me and the leadership team, but the whole school community.

I wish you all have a very safe, relaxing and joy filled holiday period with family and loved ones.
