Firstly, it has been so pleasing to see how our students have settled into the new school year, they have begun classes, formed new connections and transitioned well as young adults. Our College Community has grown significantly in 2025, with close to 1100 students, including 291 new Year 7 students joining our school. We would like to welcome all of the new students starting with us in Years 7-10 and wish them well as they begin their journey with us.

As a College, we endeavour to set the bar very high when it comes to expectations in our classrooms and ensuring our students are in a learning environment where they can thrive. Subject teachers are continuing to implement consistent classroom practices for every period across the school day so our students can begin their lessons with predictable routines. As educators, we know that consistent classroom practices impact the teacher’s ability to teach effectively and creates a positive learning environment where students feel valued and ready to make the most of their learning time. These posters are up in each classroom and serve as a reminder to our community the importance of having an orderly learning environment.

Finally, I would like to congratulate our students in how they have conducted themselves in returning to school and the way in which they have remembered to take pride in being active and respectful members of Catholic Regional College Caroline Springs.
