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.

Congratulations to our talented dancers! Students recently represented our school at the PDSSSC Dance Competition with seven entries across various categories. Their hard work, dedication, and passion for dance shone through in their outstanding performances and results. We are proud to share that our Senior Lyrical Team achieved 1st place, our Junior Lyrical Team placed 3rd, and Lilly Harris was awarded 1st place for her Senior Solo performance. A special mention also goes to Aria Averillo and Chloe Bont, who participated in their first high school solo performances — an incredible milestone in their dance journey. This year also marked a special moment with our first Year 12 Cultural Routine, representing the school proudly and celebrating our community’s diversity through dance. All of this was made possible through the hard work of the students and the guidance of Mrs Ralston, who supported and guided these students throughout the year. And special mention to Mrs Swan who attended the event and has been in support of dance when Mrs Ralston was unavailable. Well done to everyone involved — your commitment and teamwork continue to make our school proud!
