Commissioning Services

It has been a pleasure being part of the Leadership Commissioning Services this week. Senior School Year 12 leaders were commissioned on Tuesday along with our new Deputy Principal Dr Robert Jacob and new Head of Leaver House Ms Stephanie Trovato. On Thursday our Year 6 leaders were commissioned along with Ms Sarah Black who is the new Head of Reid House. 

Both Commissioning Services were joyful events which celebrated the capacity of our Year 6 and Year 12 students to lead the school. Thank you to our School Chaplain Mrs Riviere-Pendle for putting together these significant rites of passage events for our students.

Power and Storm

Casey Grammar was lucky to withstand the storm which swept through Victoria on 13 February. We experienced some loss of power earlier in the day, however, it was quickly reinstated and we were able to continue with lessons as usual. Junior School students remained indoors during recess and lunch to avoid the heat of the day.

Road Safety

I extend my thanks to all parents for their patience during the road works which currently surround us. The opening of the pedestrian crossing and the installation of traffic lights at the end of New Holland Drive are very welcome. I would like to remind everyone that the usual road rules apply when driving in the carparks as well as in New Holland Drive. 

Please do not stop in New Holland Drive to let your children hop out of the car or allow them to alight from the car before it is safely parked in a parking bay. It is also vitally important that all students are taught to cross roads at pedestrian crossings. Please ensure your children cross New Holland Drive at the two pedestrian crossing points.
