Principal Message

Advance Through Knowledge

I am pleased to provide the following Annual Report for Ilim College of Australia as required by the

Commonwealth Government as part of our funding arrangements.

Throughout 2013 Ilim College saw the opening of our new campus in Glenroy catering for students from Prep –

Year 6 an enormous achievement from all involved including our parents who have entrusted their children with

us during this first year of operations. With its opening we have had a surge in student numbers and countless

expressions of interest.

Once again I am pleased to congratulate our outgoing Year 12 students on their excellent results in the VCE this

year. All students completed the year and met the requirements of the Victorian Certificate of Education with

success and we are very proud of them all.

As like all year past in 2013 we focussed on the Principals of Teaching and Learning:

• Building positive relationships

• Catering for diversity

• Focus on Intellectual quality

• Encourage creativity & student involvement

• Solve problems; develop team work and links to the community

• Use varied assessment to gauge student outcomes

2013 also saw the commencement of construction of the new VCE building which will provide state of the art

classrooms, segregated boys and girls common rooms, Career Counsellor rooms, staff room and teachers

offices.

As Principal of Ilim College I look forward to yet another rewarding and successful year in 2014.
