MESSAGE FROM THE LEADERSHIP TEAM

Ms Kay Peddle – Principal
As we approach the end of another academic year, I would like to take this opportunity to reflect on the achievements and growth we have experienced together. This year has been filled with numerous challenges, successes, and moments of learning, all of which have shaped our school community in meaningful ways.
From outstanding achievements in academic endeavours and in the co-curricular program, I am incredibly proud of all that our students have accomplished. Congratulations to the students who were acknowledged at the college Awards evening. Your hard work, dedication, commitment to your studies and contribution to the school community will undoubtedly
serve you well in your future endeavours. To our parents and carers, I wish to acknowledge your support, guidance and encouragement of our students. The partnership between schools and families is important because it enhances student learning, fosters a supportive environment, and improves academic and social outcomes with a shared commitment to student success.
To our dedicated staff, thank you for your tireless efforts in shaping the minds and characters of our students. Your passion for education and commitment to excellence have created an environment where students can thrive and reach their full potential.
At Pascoe Vale Girls college we believe that a focus on learning and wellbeing has created a successful learning community by fostering an environment where students are both intellectually engaged and emotionally supported. This holistic approach enhances academic performance, promotes mental and physical health and encourages positive relationships, all of which contribute to overall success and development. Striving for success from Year 7 to Year 12 builds the foundation for future learning and career opportunities. It also promotes personal growth, helping students develop resilience, leadership, and communication skills that are valuable throughout life.
Looking to the future, this week we welcomed our 2025 Year 7 students. The orientation day program is very comprehensive and enables students to experience life as a student at Pascoe Vale Girls College and prepare them for their start in 2025. For those students who have completed their secondary schooling at Pascoe Vale Girls College, VCE results will be released on Thursday 12 December. We wish all students the best of luck with their results and look forward to having our Year 12 students join the college alumni.
Final Progress Reports for 2024 will be available on Friday 13 December for Years 7–9 and the Semester 2 Reports for all year levels will be published on Thursday 19 December. Please contact sub schools regarding reports or if you have any questions regarding the 2025 school year.
The 2025 college calendar will be published on the college website. This calendar will list all key school dates and events for the year.
As we look ahead to the new year, we are excited to continue fostering a culture of excellence, inclusion, and innovation. We remain committed to equipping our students with the knowledge, skills, and values they need to succeed in a rapidly changing world.
On behalf of the entire school community, I would like to wish everyone a safe and happy holiday season and we look forward to another successful and vibrant year in 2025.
