College Principal Message

I would like to welcome you all to the 2019 school year, in particular, our new families. We have approximately 390 new Year 7 students across our Kings Park and Sydenham Campuses whose education and wellbeing we take very seriously. This year we will continue our mission Empowering every student to aspire and achieve. Last year’s VCE results continue to show us exceeding expectations but we know that success starts in Year 7.

New Career Education and Training

This year, the Department of Education and Training has introduced a new career education program at Year 9. Students will complete an online profiling assessment to assist them in thinking about appropriate future pathways. The online component will be followed up with individual debriefing and counselling by qualified external careers educators. We are still working on the logistics (including the timing) of this new program and will keep you informed.

I flagged in last year’s newsletters upgrades to facilities including renovations at the Delahey Campus using the $3.5million Capital Works grant we received in May and refurbishing the open space and administration area at the Kings Park Campus. Unfortunately these projects are on hold pending some decisions to be made by the Victorian School Building Authority (VSBA). We are hopeful that we will get the go ahead for these projects soon.

If you have any questions or concerns please contact the Campus Principals at your child’s campus.
