Introducing Daryl Bennett - ACting Principal

I am delighted to have been appointed Acting Principal for the remainder of 2025. I view this as an exciting opportunity for me to learn from the community what is special about Templestowe College. I hope I am also able to bring something from my experience as a teacher and school leader to the school in the six months.

I have been teaching and leading schools for over 30 years and bring experience in school leadership, student management, and curriculum and join TC from my position as Principal at Swinburne Senior Secondary College. I have already met the school's student leadership group, visited classes, and met many of the students. I am looking forward to the next six months here at TC.  

I am a strong believer in state education having attended one in the 1980s, sending my two sons to state schools, and of course committing my professional life to the achievement of the best outcomes for state school students.

Semester 2 Elective Subject Changes

Next week is ‘Change Week’ where you have the opportunity to request Semester 2 elective subject changes. If you are wanting to change your subjects, this will be your last chance to do so.

I will be posting a form on Teams which opens at 9am Monday and will close on Friday at 4pm. No further changes will be accepted after this time.

PLEASE NOTE: All requests are not finalised until you receive a chronicle confirming this. You need to stay in your classes that are on Compass until the change has been finalised.

If you need help please speak to your Community team or Connect mentor.

Thank you,

Jack Maloney
