Nick Adamou has been the principal at North Geelong Secondary College for the past 13 years.
Prior to coming on board as the principal, he was a principal at Mill Park Secondary College.
His experience as a principal spans more than two decades.
His belief for North Geelong Secondary College is that nobody is to go without and the school will help whether it’s for uniforms, excursions or whatever needs a student might require.
He says the school offers a quality, dynamic government school for your child.
“The school focuses on diversity of students who we support in the community to achieve and pursue academic excellence and a strong acceptance in the community,” Nick says.
“The success of the school now is showing as prior there was a decline in numbers and we have changed the school’s reputation, to a school that has high expectations.”
Nick has a selection criteria that when students apply for the school placement they must meet the school’s expectation requirements and also for the staff.
“One of the programs that the school has had success with is SEAL – Select Entry Elite Learning Program offered to all students,” he says.
“Some of the other programs we offer are literacy and numeracy to ensure that nobody falls behind.
“We have an outstanding program in excellence of sports in volleyball, football and soccer.”
Nick strives to make sure that when the students come to school they know what is expected from them and all he wants is for them to try their best.
Nick wants to make the school a choice for the students to come and learn.
“The school offers international students, has a wide range of diverse cultures, beliefs and diversity of students,” he says.
“It welcomes all, they are accepting of all.”
Nick has strived to achieve high results at North Geelong Secondary College and the results speak for themselves.
He loves coming to work every day as he is a big believer that he treats the students, parents and the staff as part of his extended family. This also goes for past students, who are all welcomed.
“Come in and take a tour of the school – you will feel the connection to the family atmosphere the school offers,” he says.
