Update from the Campus Principal

As we reach the end of term, a big thank you goes out to our students, staff, and families for their continued commitment and support. It has been a positive and productive few weeks, with our secondary students completing exams with focus and maturity—something to be proud of.

A highlight to finish the term is our student-led end-of-term event. A fantastic way to celebrate together and reflects the strong, connected culture we continue to build on campus.

We are all definitely looking forward to starting term 3 in the new Secondary Learning Centre.

It is also exciting to welcome Mrs Alison Ayling to our Primary teaching team at the start of term 3.

Alison brings a wealth of experience in primary education and will be working with our students on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays. We are very fortunate to have someone of Alison’s calibre joining our team, and I know she will make a positive impact on student learning and engagement.

Mrs Sarah Strini will continue in her teaching role on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, ensuring continuity and support for all students. The overlap on Wednesdays will also provide valuable opportunities for collaboration and consistency in learning programs.

We are excited about the strength of this shared teaching approach and the benefits it will bring to our students.

Thank you again to our staff for their dedication and care, and to our families for your ongoing partnership.

Wishing everyone a safe and restful break—we look forward to welcoming you back next term - on Tuesday, July 21st.

Kind regards,

Brett Maxwell

Campus Principal


Regional Principal Article Week 10, Term 2 ​

Dear Students, Staff, and Families

As we reach the end of Term 2, I would like to take a moment to reflect on what has been a highly productive and positive term across our Victoria and Tasmania campuses. This also marks the end of my first full term as Regional Principal at OneSchool Global, a milestone that has given me valuable time to settle into the role, build connections, and gain a deeper understanding of our school community.

Over the past fortnight, I have acted as Campus Principal at our Nathalia Campus. I praise all students, staff and community for their welcome and support. It has been great seeing our L2L framework in action day after day.

During this last week we have had the privilege of a regional visit by Mr Paul Maher, Regional Director of Education and Ms Louise Goette, Regional Director of Student Support. They spent time at our Nathalia, Swan Hill and Bendigo Campuses. I was extremely proud of our campuses during these visits and I thank Mr Chris Sanders at Bendigo and Ms Annalie Gilmour at Swan Hill.

As mentioned many times, this term has enabled me to visit all our campuses. I have been struck by the consistency of our culture, the strength of relationships, and the clear focus on student learning. At every campus, I have felt genuinely welcomed, and I have thoroughly enjoyed meeting with staff, students, and members of the wider community. These visits continue to be a highlight of my role and reinforce the strong sense of purpose that exists across our region.

There have been many highlights throughout the term. I would like to acknowledge all students who have recently completed assessments and examinations. Your commitment to preparation and perseverance is commendable, and you should take great pride in your efforts. These moments mark important milestones in your learning journey.

This time of year, has also seen a strong focus on subject selection for 2027. I commend students for the thoughtful consideration they have given to their future pathways, supported by staff and families. These are important decisions that help shape the opportunities ahead. If you need support with this process please contact us as we are very keen to support.

More broadly, I want to acknowledge the efforts of all campuses in maintaining such positive and productive environments. Across classroom learning, student leadership, co-curricular activities, and community engagement, there is much to celebrate. Our shared values and collective commitment continue to be a defining strength of OneSchool.

As we move into the holiday break, I am personally looking forward to taking some time to pause, take stock, and reflect with gratitude on what has been achieved this term. I encourage all members of our community to do the same to rest, recharge, and enjoy time with family and friends after a busy and productive period.

I look forward to welcoming everyone back in Term 3, refreshed and ready to continue building on the strong foundations already in place.

Thank you, as always, for your ongoing commitment and contribution to our school community.

Please feel free to make contact with me if you have any questions.

Warm regards,
Frank Vetere
Regional Principal
VIC/TAS
