Executive Principal Update - Mr Ian Ross
Dear Parents and Carers
I would like to give a huge shout out to our educational community for the overwhelming way that we have come together to initiate, develop and promote a different approach to education during the current situation with COVID-19.
During the past week I have experienced many examples, across the college community, which have demonstrated the commitment to our core values of Safe, Respect and Personal Best.
At this time, and into the future, these values are needed to support what we do and how we do it.
