From the Principal

25 09 August 2024

Welcome to Term 3! As we start this new term, I want to express my gratitude to all the parents and guardians who played a crucial role in our recent subject selection process. Your presence and support have been instrumental in helping your children make informed decisions about their academic futures. Your dedication to their education is truly commendable.

One of the highlights of this term is the much-anticipated production of "The Wizard of Oz" which is on this weekend! Our students have been working tirelessly to bring this classic story to life, and their hard work and enthusiasm are evident in every rehearsal. The dedication of our staff and students involved in this production is truly inspiring. This event promises to be a remarkable showcase of our students' talents, and I encourage everyone to attend and support our young performers.

As many of you are aware, the Melbourne Archdiocese of Catholic Schools (MACS) has begun the process of appointing a permanent Principal for our College. This period can be both exciting and unsettling, as change often brings about a mix of emotions. However, I have full confidence in the process and the commitment of MACS to find the best leader to guide our College community forward. It is a time for us to trust in the process and support each other as we look to the future.

In this spirit of trust, I am reminded of the parable of the water and the rock. Over time, a persistent stream of water can wear down the hardest rock, not through force, but through gentle, consistent effort. This parable teaches us about the power of perseverance and the impact of small, steady actions. Just as water shapes the rock, our continuous efforts and trust in the process will shape the future of our College in profound ways.

Let us embrace this term with trust in each other, in our students, and in the process of selecting our new Principal. Together, we can continue to nurture and grow our College community, creating a supportive and thriving environment for all.

Thank you for your ongoing support and commitment to Caroline Chisholm Catholic College. I look forward to a successful and enriching Term 3!
