Embracing new opportunities

Congratulations Mr Sutton!

Over the past 18 months, Mr Sutton has been relieving in various roles with the NSW Department of Education. I am delighted to share with you that Mr Sutton has been recently appointed as the new Director, Educational Leadership for The Ponds network of schools. 

This is a significant promotion for Mr Sutton, and we congratulate him on this wonderful opportunity. We have no doubt that he will excel in his new position, bringing his expertise and dedication to benefit the broader educational community. 

As Mr Sutton embarks on this new professional journey, we extend our heartfelt congratulations and best wishes. This promotion is a testament to his exemplary leadership, exceptional skills, and unwavering commitment to education. We have no doubt that he will continue to make a significant impact, inspiring and empowering students, educators, and communities alike. All the best, Mr Sutton. 

Congratulations Mr Chambour!

This week, we also bid farewell to Mr Chambour, who was successful in his application for the Head Teacher Secondary Studies at Bonnyrigg High School.  

In this position, Mr Chambour will work across a group of schools, including Cecil Hills High School, to grow the Educational Pathways Program and to engage with industry and tertiary providers to provide vocational opportunities for students in our Network. 

We know that Mr Chambour will be fantastic in this role and look forward to him continuing to support our students in this area.

Farewell, Cecil!

For the last 18 months, I have had the honour and privilege of serving as the relieving Principal of Cecil Hills High School. However, it is with mixed emotions that I inform you that I will also be moving into a new role starting next term, as the Deputy Principal of Bulli High School. 

I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to the entire Cecil Hills High School community for your support, collaboration, and commitment to our students' education and wellbeing during my 18 years at Cecil Hills and particularly, as the Relieving Principal. I have witnessed the incredible dedication of our teachers, staff, parents, and carers, and I am immensely proud of the achievements and growth of our students. 

During Term 3, The NSW Department of Education will begin the process of appointing a new substantive principal and in the interim, Mrs Julia Cremin will be relieving as Principal. We are committed to ensuring a smooth transition and maintaining the high standards of education and support that our students deserve. 

Please feel free to reach out to me or any member of the school staff if you have any questions or concerns during this transition. Your feedback and involvement are highly valued and contribute to the continued success of our school.

School dates for Term 3 2023

Term 3 begins for all students on Tuesday, 18th July 2023.

Wishing the entire Cecil Hills community all the very best for the future and I look forward to seeing our school’s continued success.
