Head of Primary Greeting
Welcome to Gilson College Mernda (Primary).
It is with great delight that I work alongside a dedicated team of educators who nurture and grow the students in our care every day. Guiding children as they learn to be respectful, responsible and resilient learners as they develop their character as people of integrity.
We value spiritual, academic, social and physical well-being and offer a variety of excellent programs that improve the health of our community.
Our website provides a small glimpse into life at Gilson and I encourage you to see our thriving Christ-Centred community in action on a tour.
“'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future. '” - Jeremiah 29:11.
