It is time to share my latest blog and I thought what better time to spread the word about some recent staff changes. In our latest CCSC newsletter recently sent via Skoolbag we made mention of some additions to the management team. In case you missed it, here is a recap.
Over the past two terms we have had a real focus internally on our academic program. After much reflection we have made the decision to promote some internal staff into senior roles that will allow more focus on bringing our students an even better academic program. The intention of the new roles is about providing our staff more support and ensuring that we are critically reviewing our teaching practice on a very frequent basis.
The new positions are:
Head of Senior School – Ugo Grassano. Ugo has been with the college for over three years and joined our team as a very experienced high college teacher. Ugo has been teaching Science, Biology and our HSC science programs in addition to supporting our general academic program. Ugo has vast experience in college administration and is highly respected by his colleagues. Ugo will lead our high college teaching team into the next phase of our college’s growth.
Assistant Head of Senior School – Cameron Moon. Cameron joined our team the same year as Ugo as our secondary maths teacher. Cameron quickly demonstrated that he was always meant to be part of the CCSC team and has shown a tremendous ability of being available for the students when needed. He is level- headed, calm and keen to help. He is a great mentor to our students and will take on the welfare and discipline needs of our high college students.
Head of Junior School – Damian Mitchell. Damian joined our team at the start of 2015 after working for many years in the Catholic college system. Damian has shown a love of numeracy and has been leading a numeracy program in primary college since the start of this year that has continued to drive our teaching program to the next level. Damian will be leading our primary teaching team as we strive to be known for not only our unique sporting programs but also as a college leading the way in providing the best possible learning environment for each and every one of our students.
Some Recent Staff Movements:
Recently Melissa Trew made the difficult decision to resign from her role as a full-time teacher. Mel has been a valuable member of the team who helped develop our K-2 program, assisted with many college admin tasks and most recently was working in the senior primary college. We wish Mel the very best in her future endeavours and would like to thank her for her time at the college.
CCSC TV Coming Soon:
If you keep track of our Facebook page you may have seen our recent interview with some of our U18’s football squad and their coach Gavin Thomas. One of my passions is technology. Video recording of football games and more recently live-streaming is an area that I believe will open many opportunities for our students in the future. With this in mind we are working with some students to launch CCSC TV. Watch this space as our students gain some valuable experience in the online video producing world!
