Who is the school Principal?
School Founder, Jen Young, is the College Principal. With a career in teaching, school leadership and university lecturing, Jen brings years of experience and knowledge to this role. She has recently completed her Masters in Educational Leadership. Jen will also teach in these formational years.

When will the school be built?
The construction of stage 1, including classrooms, amenities block and learning centre, will occur predominantly off-site, with buildings to arrive in November. Carparking and services such as power, water and septic system will be installed over the coming weeks and months.
How will the College consider the surrounding environment?
We are proud of the steps we’re taking to reduce our impact on the local and global environment during the construction and operation phases. Buildings will be energy efficient with features such as window glazing, energy efficient heating and cooling systems, efficient electric water heating, natural ventilation, LED lighting, water-saving fixtures on toilets and taps, high level insulated walls, floors and ceilings.
Native landscaping will incorporate drought tolerant and indigenous species. A native planting schedule has already commenced. We are returning vegetation to the site, forming a natural buffer and improving habitat and biodiversity. 50,000L of water storage capacity will be installed. A Waste Management Plan will be implemented and reviewed biannually to reduce rubbish and recycling produced by the college. The CIC ‘Nude Food’ Policy requests families to remove plastic food waste and use bins at home. Biannual waste audits ensure that efficient rubbish, recycling and composting systems are in place.
Will students be riding or walking to school?
Although Fullers Road is a well-used cycling route, we discourage students cycling and walking to school. As with other independent schools in farming zones such as Village High School, and Woodline Primary School, a new network of 12-seat school busses will operate. The Department of Transport and Planning have considered the nature of Fullers Road and have endorsed our plans as carrying capacity is fit for purpose. A traffic engineer was engaged to design our on-site bus turning circle with appropriate on-site parking spaces to manage traffic movements on the site.
