Welcome to Heathmont College, I am proud to introduce our school to you.

Students are at the centre of all that we do here at Heathmont College. We aim to foster student development and growth through a focus on student engagement, empowerment and learning in order to support students to achieve their very best in all that they do.

During these uncertain times, it is vitally important that schools focus on supporting students to develop strategies to navigate the unknowns in the world around them and to build resilience in order to manage uncertainty and challenge. As a lead school in the Maroondah Positive Education Network, Heathmont College aims to do exactly this through developing growth mindsets in our students and our staff and leveraging this to enhance resilience across the school by focusing on student and staff strengths. By developing student skills in managing adversity, we empower them to lead their best lives.

Principals Report -22/11/2024

It is always a privilege to reflect on the many wonderful milestones, achievements, and opportunities that make our school such a vibrant community. Over the past few weeks, we’ve had much to celebrate and plenty to look forward to, and I am delighted to share these highlights with you. 

Valedictory Evening: A Night to Remember 

Last night, we came together for a truly memorable Valedictory Evening to honour our graduating Year 12 students. We had the largest number of people attending this event in recent history and the room was truly packed! It is not difficult though to work out why so many people wished to attend to celebrate this milestone as this cohort has been a shining example of connection, inclusivity, and joy throughout their time at our school. Their energy and commitment to one another and to the wider school community were evident throughout the evening’s speeches, performances, and heartfelt moments. Congratulations to our graduates on this significant milestone – we wish them every success as they embark on their next chapter.

“Acknowledgment of Country” by students at Heathmont College

Hello and Wominjeka.

Wominjeka means ‘Welcome’ in Woiwurrung language of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation.

On behalf of Heathmont College, we would like to note that since the dawn of time, the sacred land on which our school is situated Always Was and Always Will Be Wurundjeri land. We would like to pay our respects to the traditional custodians who are guardians of this land, the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation, and we acknowledge their Ancestors, Elders, Youth and Children; past, present and those of the future within their community.

We recognise the many diverse and ongoing living cultures of all First Nations people of Australia. It’s with appreciation we see their perseverance, strength and value their deep continuing spiritual connection to Country, Community, Animals, Skies, Stars and Waterways, as they belong to the oldest living culture in the world. The Heathmont College community is dedicated to embracing First Nation’s history and cultures by fostering respectful relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people built on co-operation and trust. We all come from different places though we must work together on this shared learning journey to enrich our understandings and celebrate First Nation’s people and their cultures.

This land was never ceded, it Always Was and Always Will Be Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander land.
