Principal's message

I am honoured to lead Box Hill Public School as the Foundation Principal. It is a privilege to lead this new and vibrant learning community, where we are dedicated to building a school culture grounded in high expectations and excellence. At Box Hill Public School, we believe that every student has the potential to achieve greatness.

Our vision is to create an environment where all students are encouraged to reach their personal best, supported by teaching practices committed to support their personal and academic growth. We aim to be a school where every child feels valued, nurtured, included, and empowered to succeed.

Central to our vision is the strength of our community. I am committed to working in collaboration with the Box Hill community to foster positive relationships that support our students. Together, we will build a strong sense of belonging and inclusion, ensuring that our school is a place where every student, family, and staff member feels welcome and engaged.

I am eager to connect with each of you as we begin this exciting journey together. By uniting around our shared vision, we have the opportunity to build something truly special, a school that sets the highest standards, celebrates our collective achievements, and provides every student with the tools they need to thrive, where our students are inspired, challenged, and empowered to reach their full potential.

I am excited about the wonderful journey ahead and look forward to welcoming our first students to the temporary facilities during 2025.

Warm regards,

Melanie Mackie

Foundation Principal
