Principal’s Message

Welcome to Wheelers Hill Secondary College. My name is Fern Brisbane, and I am immensely proud to lead the wonderful Teachers and Educational Support Staff who are the foundations on which our school thrives. Our core responsibility, as an educational learning community, is to ensure that all our students have the opportunity to achieve self-actualisation, which is the fulfillment of their unique talents and potentialities. This also means that as individuals and global citizens, each and every young person who enrols at our school has the right to achieve Excellence in their learning and that they understand the rights of others to learn in a safe and inclusive environment. Respect is the cornerstone of all our actions. We believe that by nurturing personal wellbeing young people acquire the resilience and perseverance to harness Creativity in a proactive and collaborative way for the betterment of themselves and the world around them.

Our School Logo: ‘Creating Futures Together’ encapsulates our vision. Our purpose is to work with families to ensure our students can achieve their aspirations and goals. We offer a partnership with you that is based on the conviction that all students can make progress and that learning and wellbeing are the key drivers of that progress.

Our commitment to our families is that we will:

  • Create a safe and inclusive learning environment for all stakeholders

  • Facilitate a curriculum that is rigorous and differentiated

  • Promote high expectations in both our students and staff

  • Provide regular and meaningful feedback on student Learning and Wellbeing

  • Implement 21st Century teaching and learning best practices that build Mastery, Autonomy and Purpose in the learner

  • Encourage young people to seek support and guidance in all aspects of Learning and Wellbeing

  • Mentor students to exemplify the College values of Respect, Excellence and Creativity

So please join us at WHSC if you share our educational vision and core values.
