Box Hill’s highly anticipated Catholic college has ticked off another milestone with the appointment of a new captain to the helm.

Santa Sophia Catholic College’s new principal Mark De Vries already has 30 years experience in the education industry.

“Education has changed so much, particularly the way children learn. I have an imperative as a leader to give the children the skills that they will use in their future workplaces. We will make a conscious effort to prepare the children for the future,” he said.

Santa Sophia Catholic College Box Hill will accommodate 2000 learners when the Terry Road campus is officially completed.

It will offer early learning, kindergarten to year 12, out of school hours care, a learning needs hub and post school pathways with tertiary and business partners.
