Welcome to Wyndham College: A Message from Deputy Principal Ann-Maree Ager

It is with great pleasure that I extend a warm welcome to all the new students and families joining Wyndham College. As we begin a new academic year, filled with endless possibilities and opportunities for growth, I, as your Deputy Principal, am thrilled to embark on this exciting journey with you. 

Transitioning to a new school can be both exhilarating and daunting, but rest assured, you are now part of a supportive and inclusive community dedicated to nurturing your academic, social, and personal development. Whether you are joining us from a Collegiate school or the independent or Catholic  sector , know that you belong here, and we are committed to helping you thrive.

As you settle into your new environment, I want to emphasize the importance of two key elements that will undoubtedly shape your experience at Wyndham College: good attendance and resilience.

Firstly, attendance is crucial for success in both academic and personal endeavours. Regular attendance ensures that you do not miss valuable learning opportunities and allows you to fully engage with your studies, teachers, and peers. It lays the foundation for academic achievement and sets you on the path towards reaching your goals. I encourage each and every one of you to make attendance a priority and to take ownership of your learning journey by being present and engaged in all aspects of school life.

Secondly, resilience is a trait that will serve you well in navigating the ups and downs of high school and beyond. Life is filled with challenges and setbacks, but it is how we respond to these obstacles that ultimately shapes our character and determines our success. Developing resilience involves cultivating a positive mindset, bouncing back from adversity, and persevering in the face of difficulties. Remember that setbacks are not failures but opportunities for growth and learning. By embracing resilience, you will build the strength and courage needed to overcome any obstacles that come your way.

As you embark on this new chapter, know that the entire Wyndham College community is here to support you every step of the way. Our dedicated staff, passionate teachers, and supportive peers are here to guide and inspire you to reach your full potential.

Once again, welcome to Wyndham College. May your time here be filled with memorable experiences, meaningful connections, and endless opportunities for growth.

Warm regards,

Ann-Maree Ager - Year 11 Deputy Principal
