Dear Parents/Guardians,
This week, our shortlisted Year 5 students who nominated for 2027 School Captain and House Captain roles had the opportunity to deliver their leadership speeches to our Stage 2 and 3 students, who then cast their votes. It takes courage to put yourself forward, speak in front of your peers and share your hopes for making a positive difference in our College community. We are incredibly proud of each student who embraced this opportunity.
In Junior School, we believe leadership is not simply about holding a title or wearing a badge. It is about recognising opportunities to serve others, taking responsibility, showing initiative and using our individual strengths to make a positive contribution.
We look forward to celebrating our 2027 student leaders at our upcoming Awards Assembly, while also acknowledging the courage and character demonstrated by all applicants.
As we approach the final weeks of the year, we encourage families to keep an eye on upcoming events and important dates. We look forward to the many opportunities ahead to celebrate the growth and achievements of our students throughout 2026.
Celebrations/Costume Letter Details
Our 2026 Junior School Celebration Services will be held on Monday 30 November, beginning with Prep and Stage 1 at 5:00pm, followed by Stage 2 and Stage 3 at 6:30pm. A BBQ will be available between the two celebrations.

Life Group Nights: Small-group activities and conversations that help young people build friendships and connect with leaders.
