Welcome from our principal
“I am honoured to be appointed as the Foundation Principal of Melrose Park High School and to join this community ahead of the school’s opening in 2027. I’m impressed by the school’s progress and the design of modern, purpose-built learning spaces. I’m excited by the opportunity to work alongside students, families and staff to establish a new public high school built on strong foundations, high expectations and a deep commitment to inclusion and excellence.
I am very much looking forward to the journey ahead and to partnering with our community to create a school where every student is known, supported and challenged to succeed. Together, we will build an optimal learning environment that reflects the aspirations of this growing community and provides young people with the confidence, skills and opportunities they need to thrive.
I look forward to meeting you soon.”
Gina Koufos, Foundation Principal of Melrose Park High School
