It brings me enormous pleasure to provide educational leadership at what I believe to be one of the most innovative and caring schools in Melbourne.
While I dearly love my role as Assistant Principal, there is nothing I enjoy more than being in the classroom, and to use my experience in mathematics, science and engineering to engage our students in creativity and inquiry, to encourage them to embrace their futures in solving problems, whether on a local or global scale.
It especially makes me proud to lead, encourage and foster the wonderful women of our college – staff and students – to become the best versions of themselves, and to assume an influential place in our broader society.
In this way our women can themselves lead and contribute their passions and knowledge to make for a fairer, kinder and smarter world.
I would not swap my work at Lalor North Secondary College for anything because it brings me joy, fulfillment and adventure every day.
So on International Women’s Day, 2025, this is also my wish for every woman to discover their passion, believe in themselves and realise their dreams.
Ms Selen Atilla
Assistant Principal, Lalor North Secondary College.
