Our principal and staff
Our College is committed to every student’s learning, wellbeing and sense of belonging. We work together to create a supportive and inclusive school where every child is set up for success.
Welcome from our principal
“At the Secondary College of Languages, we are proud to lead a dynamic and diverse learning community dedicated to the study of languages and cultures.
Our College brings together students from schools across NSW who share a common goal — to deepen their understanding of language, culture and identity. Each week, thousands of students attend classes at our Campuses, supported by teachers who are experts in their fields.
We believe that learning a language is about more than communication — it’s about connecting people, ideas and cultures. Through language learning, our students develop curiosity, resilience and a global perspective that prepares them for success in life beyond school.
I am privileged to work with a team of passionate educators and staff who go above and beyond to ensure every student is supported and challenged to reach their full potential.
Together, we are proud to offer a learning environment that celebrates cultural diversity and inspires students to achieve their personal best."
Nada Gemayel, Acting Principal of Secondary College of Languages
Our teachers make the difference
Experts in language education
Our teachers are accredited educators with deep expertise in the languages they teach. Many are bilingual or multilingual themselves and bring lived cultural knowledge into the classroom.
Connected across Campuses and Communities
Teaching at SCL means working as part of a state-wide network of language educators. Our teachers share resources, strategies and professional learning across all Campuses, ensuring every student benefits from the strength of our wider community.
Personalised support for every learner
Our teachers get to know each student’s learning style, language background and goals. Whether a student is beginning their language learning journey, extending their skills or accelerating, teachers tailor lessons to support growth, confidence and engagement.
Committed to continual learning and improvement
Our teachers build trust through clear communication. Our families know that their child has support and is ready to learn.
