Coffee with the principal
The Coffee with the Principal sessions return this term and I would love the opportunity to continue to meet parents and talk about the school and its students.
I would like to keep these sessions small so that everyone has the opportunity to talk with me, and each other, and will therefore limit each session to 10 people.
Please make sure that you book a place if interested using the link below:
Coffee with the Principal - In Person
Coffee with the Principal - Online
I look forward to seeing you there.

Reminder of new procedure - Students Offsite during the School Day
Templestowe College is committed to ensuring the safety, wellbeing and supervision of all students during school hours. We have been having a lot of constructive conversations with students, staff, and the community to discuss these issues.
Due to increasing concerns regarding students leaving school grounds during the day, the College is implementing a trial process to maintain duty of care obligations, support student accountability, and strengthen communication with families.
TC aims to provide safe, engaging classroom and breaktime environments for students, and consults regularly with individuals and the community on how to maintain this within the school.
As part of this new process, students seen offsite without having been signed out, will be required to attend a Community contribution session on Wednesday afternoons, where they will engage in reflective conversations and some helping around the school.
The process will be in place from November 9 2026, we’d love it if families could reiterate at home the requirement that students remain onsite during the school day.
Please reach out if you have any questions or concerns, and enjoy the weekend!

TC Animals Program is seeking donations
The animals program have been blown away by the volume of donations of small recyclables for our critters to enjoy! Unfortunately due to storage limitations, we are now at capacity for small boxes. We are still warmly accepting donations of toilet paper rolls and egg cartons. We thank you for your continued support!
