Assistant Principal 

There has been a lot happening around the school for staff and students alike. Our students have been involved in activities from clubs to events and excursions, interschool sports, as well as preparation for assessments. Meanwhile, staff have been undergoing professional development and doing an amazing job support our student's learning growth and journey. I would continue to encourage all students to engage in extracurricular activities that are on offer at the college and to speak to their student managers if they would like more information about what is on offer.

Statewide transition for students transitioning from year 6 into year 7 has been underway within our primary schools since the beginning of this term. At the start of the term, primary schools should have distributed placement information packs to all parents/careers which includes the application for year 7 placement. All applications were due to be returned to primary schools by Friday May 12th. We understand that some of our families at the college have younger children that are looking to enrol for year 7 in 2024 and encourage them to ensure that they have returned all required forms to primary schools. Please also be aware that some private and catholic primary school may choose to not engage in the public-school process. If you have not received any information for whatever reason, please reach out to your primary school or make contact with our general office to assist. 

School tours have also been occurring regularly and are available by appointment via the general office. Please feel free to call in to arrange a tour. 

Year 7 students received their immunisations on May 13th. Students received the Gardasil (HPV) and Boostrix (diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough) Vaccinations. Parents have been required to engage through the VaxxApp to signal their intent. Information has been shared on compass from the school and to parent emails from Whittlesea Council regarding these. If you have missed these vaccinations and would like more information about next steps, please contact Whittlesea Council at immunisation@whittlesea.vic.gov.au.

Thank you to all staff and students for their cooperation and support on vaccination day.
