Aintree Secondary School (interim name) has officially appointed its principal, John Mitsinikos, in preparation for its 2024 opening.
Serving as principal at Kurunjang Secondary College for the past seven years, Mr Mitsinikos is focused on maximising outcomes for every student and building a strong learning culture for all students and staff.
“I am proud to be named as the first principal of Aintree Secondary School (interim name). It is a privilege to be the Foundation Principal of this new school,” he said.
“The opportunity to work with a community from day one, establish a team of outstanding teachers and support staff and grow a secondary school is an exciting one. I value the opportunity to build on the strong foundations that exist in this community and build a school that allows each and every student to thrive in an inclusive environment. I can’t wait to join with our staff in welcoming our first cohort of Year 7s through the school gates next year.”
Located north of the intersection of Taylors Road and Frontier Avenue in Woodlea Estate, siteworks are now underway, with construction of the intersection in progress, opening up access to the future school. Upon completion of the first stage, the secondary school will be able to accommodate 550 students.
“I look forward to working with the community as we prepare for this and many exciting milestones, including the official naming of our new school later this year,” he said.
“I also want to thank the Kurunjang Secondary College community for their wonderful support over the past 7 years. I leave the school with so many treasured memories and look forward to this new challenge.”
