Principal's welcome

Welcome to Mitchie! Whether you are in our High School Preparation (HSP) or in our mainstream International Student Program​ (ISP), you are part of the Mitchie family. As Principal, I’d like to share with you some of what makes Mitchie special. The first feature is Mitchelton’s vision: Engaging Minds-Connecting Hearts.

Engaging Minds means that we are committed to academic achievement with each student reaching their potential. We offer many pathways and subjects so that you can achieve entry into the tertiary education sector. Connecting Hearts means being included, respected and valued. Your voice and contributions are important.

The second feature about Mitchie that I love is its expansive grounds and natural surroundings. Also, we are 8km from the city with good public transport available.

Mitchie has 520 students and you will have the extra support of a very dedicated and caring International Student support team, who will also help you to reach your goals.

My staff and I look forward to meeting and working with you.
