Five teachers are leaving Umina. They are Mrs Ruth Woodford (Henry Kendall); Mrs Cathy McSkimming (Henry Kendall); Mr Wayne Maguire (Gosford); Ms Megan Caldwell (Merewether) and Mr David McBride (Batemans Bay).

Umina's newly promoted Head Teacher Support is Margaret Wood.

Negotiations with the bus company have resulted in morning and afternoon bus runs being organised so that each campus can retain its current operating times.

This means that starting and finishing times for each campus will be: Umina campus 8:20am - 2:40pm and Woy Woy campus 8:30am - 2:50pm, an earlier finish due to move to the new five-period day)

The College will have its own mini bus this year to transport students between campuses and for excursions and sport.

The bus has been donated by Woy Woy Leagues Club.

The club has also donated to the College a tractor, slasher, and a ride on mower.
