Principal's message
Hi! I’m Justin Hong and I’m the very proud Principal of Northern Beaches Secondary College Cromer Campus.
At Cromer Campus, we start every day by greeting the students at our school gate.
My teachers start their lessons every day by greeting the students as they enter every classroom in our school.
We have a deep commitment to literacy, and a literacy program that builds a strong foundation in grammar and punctuation, spelling and develops a love for reading. Supplementing this strong foundation, every subject teacher explicitly instructs students in writing through a scaffolded approach which builds students confidence. This commitment at our school has led to some amazing results in NAPLAN and student growth. We are currently producing some of the best results in growth across the peninsula.
One of the strengths of Cromer Campus is the wide range of opportunity, not just in our classrooms, but beyond. These opportunities include the performing arts, student leadership, sport, debating, STEM – just to name a few. These opportunities cater for the widest range of student interest and ability and build student commitment and pride in their school.
Our school’s ability to offer extra opportunity is strengthened and enhanced by our membership and partnership with the Northern Beaches Secondary College – a collegiate of five high schools, that by working together offer our students the widest choice in curricular and extra-curricular opportunity. This especially includes our senior curriculum – our year 11 and 12 subject offerings which are the widest range of subject choices.
I look forward to meeting you and your child in the future.
