Principal's Message

Awards of Distinction

The measure of our success as a College is the growth of each and every one of our students, whether they excel academically, or through leadership opportunities or school service. Our students were awarded for a range of initiatives, whether as a member of our highly successful Clontarf Academy, College Robotics Team, a music, dance or drama ensemble, a sporting team, or those who have found a passion for learning through our Zenith Program, LEAP Academy or one of our academies for STEM, Sport or Creative Industries.

Every one of our students is provided with opportunity and every one of our students is on an educational journey that is unique to them. We recognise them, we support them and will celebrate with them.

Hastings Secondary College Awards of Distinction

The highlight of the week was certainly the Hastings Secondary College Awards of Distinction held at Panthers on Monday night. Students, teachers and community members across both campuses were recognised for their outstanding achievements and contribution towards the College. It also gave us the opportunity to acknowledge the great career of our Executive Principal Mr Holvast, who is now currently on leave pending retirement.

An invitation is extended to attend an information session on the infrastructure and remodelling of Port Macquarie Campus and Westport Campus.

The main speaker of the evening is a Senior Project Manager for the Department of Education, Mr Noble Haddad. Mrs Leslie Williams will also be presenting.

Mr Haddad will be the Project Manager for the redesign to our Campus and should be the perfect person to answer the many questions raised, such as, how much money will be invested?, can we see the plans?, start date?, finish date, what the renovations/remodelling will look like? and when we will get a solid commitment on time and money from the Department of Education?

The information session will be held at Port Macquarie Campus at 6:30pm,  Tuesday 18 February 2020. 

The invitation is extended to anyone who is concerned about the condition of our Campus and the future teaching/ learning conditions for our students and teachers.

Spread the word and see you there!
