Dear Families, Students and Mordialloc College Community,

A huge welcome to the 2026 school year and a special welcome to our Year 7 students and any other new students who are joining us this year for the first time; we are so happy to have you here with us at Mordialloc College. 

I hope that your summer break was fantastic, that you got to spend time with your favourite people, and that you are now energised for a positive 2026.

We have had a really optimistic start to the year; it is joyous to watch your children so enthusiastically join in with school life! As I have walked around classrooms, I have seen them engage with their learning, be respectful to their peers and teachers, and make the most of the opportunities that we have on offer; it is an absolute privilege to lead Mordialloc College.

As shared with students in our first whole-school assembly, that particular assembly is always my favourite; it is so inspiring to look out and see over 1200 faces with so much potential! A key message shared with students is how that should put our Mordialloc College values into action and show: 

*Responsibility: Own your mistakes, and learn from them. Aim to make things better for the whole of our Mordialloc College team.

*Respect: Think before you act. Treat others how you expect to be treated.

*Integrity: Do the right thing, even when no one is watching you!

*Personal Best: Be brave. Try something new.  Make the most of what we have to offer. 

Last week, I contacted each family via Compass with a letter regarding our expectations for the year. Can I ask you to please keep this letter safe as it will help you to support us to create a positive environment focused on learning, and a supportive school community underpinned by respectful relationships. Our focus is always on creating a learning environment where all students can experience success.
