Principal Team Report

As we navigate towards the end of the school year, there is much to be celebrated and still a lot of work to do in the lead up to the final days of 2024!

Our Year 12 students along with our Year 10s and 11s have all completed their examination period and the year 10 and 11s are now taking part in the all-important Head Start program to prepare them for their studies in 2025.

Congratulations to all our year 12s who were exemplary in their approach to their final examinations - we are extremely proud of you all! VCE results will be released on Thursday December 12th. Students are encouraged to contact the College if they wish to seek any assistance regarding course selection or anything else.

Last week our Year 10s attended Charnwood Adventure Camp located at Lima East. From all accounts everyone enjoyed the activities and the opportunities presented to them at the camp, all whilst enjoying some lovely Spring weather! A big thank you to Nick Molan for leading the camp and also to Sharon Sharpe, Felicity Graham- Prowse, Ryan Joyce, and Donia Yao for attending the camp.

On Thursday December 5th is the College Presentation Evening where we showcase the effort, achievements, and successes of our students throughout the year. It is a wonderful opportunity to come together as a community and celebrate our College values of Excellence, Respect and Creativity, and we encourage all members of the College Community to attend this event to share in the celebrations of our wonderful students.

Our final VCE event for the year is the Valedictory Evening. We look forward to celebrating the final event for the year with the Class of 2024 and their families.

Date: Tuesday 10th December 2024

Venue: Merrimu Receptions 1300 Dandenong Rd Murrumbeena

A reminder to families that the January break is an ideal time to undertake a uniform audit to ensure that your children have all the correct items for the start of the 2025 school year and that all items are correctly fitted and in good repair.   We have been working with our uniform supplier Lowes, and we have arranged the addition of a WHSC puffer jacket and windcheater for Winter 2025. As a result, the knitted jumpers will be a discontinued item and are currently discounted at Lowes. Students will still be permitted to wear the knitted jumpers as part of our uniform after production ceases. We hope to see the windcheaters and puffer jackets in store by the middle of 2025.
