Principal and staff profiles
Welcome from our Principal
Mr Hamish McDonald, School Principal
As the Principal of Avenues College, I am honoured to be part of a school that fosters a supportive community of learners, serving students from Birth to year 12.
At Avenues College, we are relentless in our ambition for all children and young people to enter the world beyond the classroom, ready to learn and create opportunities to live a satisfying and fulfilling life.
At Aveneus College students develop the knowledge skills and dispositions to confidently and successfully face the challenges of an ever-changing world valuing a sense of learning, innovation and agile thinking.
Our learning programs are based on the Early Years Learning Framework, the Australian Curriculum, and the South Australian Certificate of Education.
I invite you and your children to our school, where they will have the opportunity to embark on their educational journey, grow with confidence, and develop meaningful relationships.
