Welcome - Principal Brett Moore

Dear members of the Ashwood Secondary College community,

 

My name is Brett Moore. I am proud to be your new principal because I believe OUR school is a sleeping giant. 

I would like to compliment you on the hard work that parents/guardians, students and staff have obviously put in here at Ashwood Secondary College. There is a lovely feeling as you walk in the door. I’m sure the students appreciate it.

The question is: How can we best work together as a school community to turn this good school into the GREAT school it can be?

 

The answer lies in raising the bar; a belief in:

  • high expectations
  • authentic relationships, based on mutual respect and honest feedback
  • academic excellence
  • the importance of hard work – pride in achievement through effort.

 

I look forward to working with members of the school community to establish a solid school improvement framework. Our school improvement framework will ensure that we:

  • identify and enhance the strengths of Ashwood Secondary College
  • identify and work on areas that MUST be improved
  • establish protocols and opportunities for people to make a difference
  • lift the perception of Ashwood Secondary College in the local community
  • increase enrolments and improve results.

 

I welcome the opportunity of meeting parent, student and staff members of the Ashwood Secondary College community. In particular, I am interested in meeting with all stakeholders to understand and further develop student aspirations and achievement.

 

It will be my intention to meet with parent members of school council individually in the latter part of term 2. If you wish to make an appointment to see me please make contact with Kelly Garrett (Business Manager) on 9807 1333 or via email: garrett.kelly.k@edumail.vic.gov.au.

 

Ashwood Secondary College is holding a Parent Forum – Meet the New Principal on Tuesday 28 April, 2015 commencing at 6:30pm in the Collaborative Learning Centre. Please RSVP your intention to attend this forum by contacting the General Office on 9807 1333. I look forward to meeting with you and sharing my vision and educational philosophy with you. Please note this event is strictly for parents/guardians only.

 

I look forward to working with parents in a positive way and supporting your children in our pursuit of pride in achievement through effort.

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Brett Moore

Principal
