It is my privilege to serve as Principal of this outstanding Anglican school community and to welcome you to a College where every student is known, valued and encouraged to flourish.
Cathedral College Wangaratta is a vibrant coeducational College that has established a strong reputation for providing high-quality education from Prep to Year 12. Located on the traditional Country of the Bpangerang People, we are deeply connected to a place that has long been a source of learning, community and belonging. As part of the AngliSchools network, we are proud of our Anglican heritage and the way our Christian faith shapes the life of our community. The College's values of Faith, Excellence, Integrity, Respect, Inclusion and Courage underpin all that we do, guiding our relationships, decision-making and commitment to providing a safe, inclusive and nurturing environment for every learner.
At Cathedral College, we believe education is about developing the whole person. While academic success is important, we recognise that young people flourish when they are challenged intellectually, supported emotionally, encouraged spiritually and provided with opportunities to discover their unique gifts and talents. Our role as educators is to help students develop the knowledge, skills, character and confidence required to lead meaningful lives and contribute positively to a just, fair and compassionate world.
Guided by our commitment to ensure students discover, belong and achieve, we strive to create learning experiences that are engaging, innovative and relevant. We place a strong emphasis on teaching and learning excellence, recognising that every student deserves access to high-quality educational opportunities that inspire curiosity, creativity and a lifelong love of learning. Through a broad range of academic, vocational, co-curricular and service-learning pathways, students are encouraged to pursue their passions and develop a strong sense of purpose.
A defining strength of Cathedral College Wangaratta is the genuine sense of belonging that exists across our community. As a Prep to Year 12 College, we are uniquely positioned to support students throughout their educational journey, fostering continuity, connection and strong relationships between students, staff and families. We understand that learning and wellbeing are deeply connected, and we remain committed to creating an inclusive environment where every individual feels safe, supported and respected.
As a regional school serving families from across North East Victoria, we recognise the importance of strong community partnerships. We value the trust families place in us and believe that education is most successful when schools, families and the broader community work together in support of young people. The relationships we build with parents, alumni, local organisations, parishes and industry partners enrich the educational experiences available to our students and strengthen our collective capacity to help them succeed.
The College's Strategic Plan 2025-2030 provides a clear and exciting vision for the future. Our focus on Teaching and Learning, Wellbeing and Inclusion, Anglican Identity, Community, and Sustainability reflects our commitment to continuous improvement and ensuring Cathedral College remains a school of choice for families seeking an education grounded in faith, excellence and opportunity.
I am passionate about ensuring Cathedral College continues to be a place where students are challenged to achieve their personal best, inspired to serve others, and encouraged to embrace the opportunities of an ever-changing world with confidence and hope.
Whether you are a current member of our community or considering Cathedral College Wangaratta for your family, I invite you to experience the warmth, quality and spirit of this remarkable College. I encourage you to visit us, meet our staff and students, and see firsthand the outstanding learning environments, opportunities and sense of community that make Cathedral College such a special place.
I look forward to partnering with you as we continue to build a College where every student can discover their potential, develop a genuine sense of belonging, and achieve success in all aspects of life.
