Principal's Report

As everyone in Melbourne continues to embrace life after our two covid-impacted years, each day our students have the opportunity to experience more learning and social activities. The increase of activities that have been occurring both in and out of classroom is reflected throughout this newsletter. It refreshing to really see the achievements of our students whether it is acknowledging academic excellence, participating in Science Week; Spelling Bee Competition; Inter-school sport; or lunchtime clubs. In response to my request, I want to highlight the excellent work achieved by our SRC. They have surveyed over 200 students about the School Canteen so that we can continue to work in partnership with the Canteen company to provide a wide range of appropriate food and drinks for the students. I am also looking forward to the Year 11 Formal. Our foundation students have waited patiently for this opportunity and it is finally happening! I look forward to sharing some photos from this event in the next newsletter.

 

Planning is well and truly underway for 2023. Next year there will be more than 1200 students with all year levels through to our first year 12. To support our enrolment growth and the introduction of Year 12 we will be continuing to recruit intensely across the coming months.  I would like to also welcome Darren Irvine to the Principal team. Darren is the Acting Assistant Principal for Senior school and will be working with our students and families until the end of the year. 

 

Finally, I cannot finish my report without mentioning the outstanding achievements of the ECSC Soccer teams. In particular the Year 7 Girls soccer team who are through to the State Finals. They are featured in the cover photo of this newsletter. I would like to thank their coach, teacher - Katelyn, who will guide and coach them on the day. They will be competing against McKinnon High School; Maribyrnong College, and Mount Waverley College. We know they will give it their best shot!
