BalCC 2016 - 2020

During this period student enrolment numbers were consistently around 300, with over 60 staff employed. In January 2016 Mr Michael Stewart commenced as the College’s Principal, serving for three years. Mr Stewart was instrumental in the establishment of a Learning Enhancement Centre and the improvement of the College’s presentation. In 2016 the College committed to a Strategic Plan (20172020) and commenced a revision of the campus Master Plan. Stage 2 of the Middle School Complex (now known as the Lower Secondary Complex) was completed in mid-2016 and officially opened by Senator Jane Hume. Mr Ken Nuridin (formerly Head of Primary) commenced as Principal in Term 2 of 2019. In November 2019 the Neville Hawkins Wing was officially opened. The $1.4 million Primary Wing consists of five classrooms (Prep-Middle Primary), a storeroom/office, a dedicated LOTE classroom and toilets. During the opening speeches Principal Ken Nuridin said “BalCC would not exist today were it not for the vision, commitment and hard work of the pioneers who commenced the College thirty-five years ago and of the familiar phrase “we stand on the shoulders of those who went before”. City of Ballarat Councillor Samantha McIntosh, BalCC Board Chairman Ross Coventry and Neville Hawkins officially opened the building and cut the cake. The classrooms were open for visitors to tour before the official ceremony and morning tea, with several past Principals and teachers attending the opening.
