Deputy Principal Staff and Students Report

New Term

As we have commenced the term it has been great to see the students return. Our staff are working hard preparing students for their exams and assessments. We are also, as a team, busy preparing for 2026.

 

With our Year 12 VCE students preparing for exams and the Year 12 Vocational Major students completing their last tasks to be ready to leave Nazareth and commence their next chapter we see the change and growth in them and the emotions that such a stage produces. We wish them all the best and pray especially for all the Year 12 students in our community at this time.

Looking Ahead

As we are coming to the end of the Nazareth journey for our Year 12 class of 2025 there are a number of big events coming up. Please see below some key dated for Year 12:

  • Dress Up Day and Year 12 Breakfast: Monday, 20 October 2025 at 8.40 am, College Gym.
  • Year 12 Graduation Mass:  Monday, 20 October 2025, 5.30 pm, St Gerard’s Church, North Dandenong.

Child Safety

As a part of our Child Safety procedures it is important that we are able to contact parents, guardians and carers whenever a need arises. If you have moved houses, changed phone number or email addresses please contact the College with you new details so we can contact you when needed.

Staff

At Nazareth we are very blessed with the staff we have. We have a great number of very experienced staff who are not only experienced but still have great passion and energy. We are also very blessed with over 30 new staff over the last two years and within this some fantastic experienced staff (some returning to Nazareth after years away) and some very gifted and hard working young teachers. We have a great blend of youth and experience and I feel very blessed and humbled to work with the talented, generous, hard working and professional staff we have at the College. We are currently looking to employ a few staff as our student numbers increase again in 2026.

 

As we pray and thank God for the wonderful people both staff and students in our Nazareth Community we ask God to open all our hearts more to the love of Jesus the Nazarene to enable our community to be a place where all meet and experience more deeply Jesus the Nazarene. We also ask God to bless and guide our community and all the new people who will come into our community.

 

Holy Family of Nazareth - be our inspiration and our guide.

Jesus of Nazareth  - Help us to grow in faith, wisdom and knowledge 

 

God Bless.
