      Thank you for visiting our new website! Our new website has been achieved through high levels of collaboration, student voice, leadership and agency. Congratulations to our 2023 College Captains for your leadership, hard work, dedication and commitment to this project!

      I am incredibly proud to be leading this College, especially having being part of the foundation staff that opened the College in 2015. I would like to acknowledge the highly effective leadership of the founding Principal, Jenny Crowle in setting up the College with strong vision, high levels of passion and rigour in all we do. These qualities are highly visible today, in all we do, especially with our differentiated teaching and learning practices, wrapped always in wellbeing supports.

      I am a very passionate educator with global experience in Education including both interstate and overseas appointments throughout my career. I am highly committed to my own learning and development. I have been awarded a scholarship from the Victorian Academy of Teaching and Leadership to pursue my Masters in Instructional Leadership at Melbourne University. I believe that both adult and student learners should have the opportunity to grow and acquire the knowledge and personal skills required to achieve their full potential.

      My focus is forever on fostering collaboration, communication, critical and creative thinking among my team, my students, my community. Working closely with others is the most rewarding part of my role, as we shape the bright and exciting future of education together.

      I talk a lot about being a good human – and our opportunities every day, to be even better humans! We approach all we do here at the College with high levels of care, kindness and gratitude. It shines through in our high levels of achievement, growth and expectations we have of ourselves and others.

      As always, please feel very welcome to come and say hello, have a chat, or a cup of tea! We look forward to talking more with you soon.

      Kind regards,

      Nicole O’Brien
      College Principal
