It is with a sense of pride and excitement that I assume the college principal position at Copperfield College.
I am discovering this is a vibrant and diverse college community that provides an outstanding teaching and learning environment, an innovative curriculum, and a myriad of extracurricular activities for all our students.
Copperfield College is ‘One College – Three sites – One Family’, providing engaging learning in an extensive range of programs meeting the needs of:
Years 7 to 10 students at Kings Park Junior Campus;
Years 7 to 10 students at Sydenham Junior Campus; and
Year 11 and 12 students at Delahey Senior Campus.
At Copperfield College we are committed to ensuring the best possible student outcomes within a safe and supportive teaching environment.
Our mission is ‘Empowering every student to aspire and achieve’.
I am passionate about public education.
Anyone who knows me as a principal knows I enjoy talking to students, getting to know them, and taking an interest in their lives.
Knowing our students is the priority of all our staff.
I am a strong believer in student voice and I acknowledge that students have unique
perspectives on learning and their schooling.
Every student can learn, progress, and achieve their goals.
It does not matter where our students come from, what ethnic background, religion, colour, or socio-economic background.
What matters to me and our staff is the student, the young person, and their ability to learn not to fear anything, to question, and to problem solve.
As principal, I bring to this position a lifetime of experience working in government schools as a teacher, leading teacher, assistant principal, and, for many years, college principal in various settings.
Working in public education as principal, my reward is the knowledge that I, together with the school community, make a difference to the lives of our young people.
I am looking forward to leading this school and meeting students, families, and friends of Copperfield College.
I invite parents, guardians, and friends of the school to take up the many opportunities offered to participate in the college activities.
Nick Adamou,
Principal.
