Dear Parents,
A warm welcome to the Point Cook and in particular the Homestead Senior Secondary College community.
After initially being the foundation Assistant Principal, it is now a great privilege and honour to be serving as the Principal.
Homestead Senior is a purpose built senior secondary college in Point Cook and caters to students from Year 10 to 12. Rapid growth is predicted for both the suburb and school over the next 5 to 10 years. The Year 10 to 12 nature of the College is a great advantage to our students, affording them the opportunity to learn and work in an adult environment with high expectations for learning. Comprehensive curriculum, pathways and transition programs allow the College to cater for the academic and vocational needs of all students. The careful integration of learning and wellbeing of our students is an absolute priority for the college.
The college offers a full range of VCE, VET and VCE VM programs. There is an emphasis on the social, emotional, cultural and academic needs of all students in order to develop their full potential. Through a caring and safe environment, individual students will be encouraged to think, reflect and develop into successful learners so that they can take their place in society as informed, responsible and active members of the community of Point Cook and beyond. The foundation years of the College involved building social capital, creating structures and practices, purchasing resources and establishing staff professional learning teams.
Our focus now is consolidating on the great foundations and building to ensure our practices continue to cater to the growing students population.
Our buildings are state of the art. Flexibility, creativity and collaboration are platforms for success and our staff demonstrate a willingness to take on these approaches.
