Mr Jacobson started his teaching career at Westering High
School in 1999 and left in 2008 to accept a Departmental HOD post at
Victoria Park High School in 2009. Thereafter, he had a brief stint at Erica Girls Primary in 2015 before accepting the Deputy Principal position at Clarendon Park Primary mid-way through 2015. 

He is the seventh Principal of our school and coincidentally also returns to Victoria Park High after seven years. Interestingly, according to scripture, the number seven is significant as it signifies completion and fulfilment of promises which certainly bodes well for the Victorian family. Mr Jacobson has come full circle and is once again back at Victoria Park High to lead and guide the school into a new and exciting era.
