New Principal Announced

It is with great pleasure that we announce the appointment of Ellie McDougall as Principal of Ararat College! Earlier this week Ellie was ‘officially’ retained as substantiative principal for our college after spending 14 months as Acting Principal. Ellie replaces Mr Geoff Sawyer who has recently retired from the role.

Ellie began her teaching career at Ararat College in 2009, and after a short stint with the Department of Education Wimmera Office, she returns as the first female Principal for Ararat College.

Ellie’s focus will continue to be on the students of Ararat College and the opportunities we can provide to allow them to exceed their potential in any area of their choice.

We look forward to the future under Ellie’s guidance and a continuation of the positive influence she has already established. Congratulations and welcome Ellie, from all of the staff, students and wider community!
