Principal's Message

Message from Mr Ian Hall to Community

Dear School Council, Leadership Team, Staff, Students, Parents and Friends of the College:

I wish to inform you that I intend to retire as of September 25th, 2019.

It has been a great privilege to work with you and I thank you for your support and assistance.  I envisage a great future for the College.

Kind Regards

Ian Hall

Acting Principal Report

I know the community would join me in thanking Mr Ian Hall for his service to the school and we are hopeful to be able to show gratitude in our own way in the near future. It has been a wonderful opportunity to take over from Ian for the 6 months that I am in the chair. Great schools (and Bairnsdale Secondary College is great) are made up of many moving parts which need to be coordinated and cared for with attention to detail. The team at BSC are caring, kind and hard working. Ian should feel very proud of being at the helm and helping those moving parts work in unison for the betterment of students. We wish Ian all the best in the future and hope to bring you updates on his adventures at a future date.

A process will follow which appoints a new principal and this typically takes about a term to resolve. If things go well, there should be a new, ongoing principal announced for the start of the 2020 school year. This may or may not be the case, depending on how the timeline operates, so please take this as only an indication at this stage until things become clearer. I am sure the College and the Department of Education will work hard to appoint an outstanding future principal when the time comes.

Music and Interview with Annie (School Captain)

We have so many wonderful students at the College. Our School Captain, Annie Rogers, is a shining example of our community. She is kind, talented, humble and caring.

Listen below as Annie shows us her interview and musical skills. Thanks Annie for representing all of the students and staff at your school with such distinction. Enjoy the sound bite from a recent radio segment on ABC Local Radio...
