New Enrolments at Torquay College
Dear Families,
Thank you for taking the time to explore Torquay College. I know that choosing a primary school is a significant milestone, and with so many wonderful options available, it can also feel a little overwhelming. As both a principal and a parent, I understand that you’re not simply choosing a school, you are choosing the people who will help shape your child’s confidence, curiosity and sense of belonging over the next seven years. That is a privilege we never take for granted.
When you visit Torquay College, my hope is that you leave with a genuine feel for who we are. Being appointed as Principal in October 2024, I feel so privileged to lead the amazing team of staff and students. Throughout the tour, I’ll show you our classrooms, learning spaces and facilities, but what I’d really like you to experience is the warmth of our community. Notice the smiles as you walk through the gates, the way our students interact with each other, the relationships our staff have built with children and the pride our students have in their school.
Every child who walks through our gates brings their own personality, strengths, interests and dreams. We believe they deserve to be known as individuals, not just by name, but by what makes them unique. We work hard to ensure every child feels safe, challenged, supported and celebrated, because we know that children learn best when they know they belong.
Our tours are intentionally relaxed. There is no sales pitch and no expectation. They are simply an opportunity for you to ask questions, meet the people who make our school special, and decide whether Torquay College feels like the right place for your family. If you choose to visit, I look forward to meeting you personally, hearing a little about your child, and welcoming you into our community. You can book a tour here.
Thank you again for considering Torquay College. I hope to meet you and your family soon.
Warm regards,
Louise Kahle
Principal
Torquay College
