Farewell Message from Peter

As I come to the end of my time at TC after 15 very full years, I want to express my heartfelt thanks to the entire school community. Today marks my final day here @ TC as I take long service leave to leave for Singapore, before officially resigning from the Department of Education on the 15th July.

TC is a truly special place—one that has shown what’s possible when we put students at the centre and embrace innovation within the framework and structures of a Victorian government school. I’ve had the privilege of witnessing enormous growth over the years: from just over 200 students when I arrived as a Design and Technology classroom teacher, to a thriving, globally recognised learning community of over 1200 students today.

It’s been an honour to work alongside such passionate staff, engaged students, and supportive families. I leave knowing that TC is in great hands with the current leadership and staff at the school and the Governance of the College Council. There will always be challenges ahead for the school, there always have been. I hope the Community continues to understand that schools should be an authentic experience in which relationships form a base for high expectations in all that we do, with everything being a learning experience.

Thank you for being part of the journey. I look forward to watching TC continue to evolve and succeed in the years to come.

Warmest regards,
Peter

ration challenge

Every year TC staff and students do an amazing job completing the Ration Challenge. Students and staff eat the same rations as a refugee living in Jordan and donations go to bring emergency food, healthcare and life-changing support to the people who need it most. This is the sponsor link for our school team. https://schools.rationchallenge.org.au/templestowe-college-2025. We have a goal to raise $5000 you can visit the site to learn more about it!
