2027 Student Ambassador Opportunities Expanding

We are excited to announce that in 2027 our Student Ambassador Program will continue to grow, with leadership opportunities available for budding future captains in Years 3, 4 and 5 in addition to our current Year 6 Leaders. A link will be distributed to students next week.

This expanded model allows more students to support our Captains in the portfolio areas of Service and Student Wellbeing, Environmental Stewardship and Creative Arts.

Nominations for Year 3–5 Ambassadors will open in Week 9, with students encouraged to put themselves forward for a range of leadership portfolios. We look forward to seeing their strengths, passions and ideas shine through.

Successful applicants will be announced during early Term 2 assemblies and will continue in their roles from Term 2 2026 until the end of Term 1 2027.

K–2 Cross Country & Athletics Day

Wednesday 1 April

Our upcoming K–2 Cross Country and Athletics Day will once again be supported by our dedicated Year 6 leaders. Their enthusiasm and encouragement play a significant role in helping our younger students feel safe, supported and excited to participate. This year’s program includes a range of modified, age‑appropriate events designed to introduce students to the types of activities they will experience in future Athletics Carnivals, including:

• Short‑distance sprint races
• Modified long‑jump practice using sand‑pit markers
• Vortex and soft‑javelin throws
• Beanbag or foam shot‑put stations
• Modified high jump
• Obstacle and agility courses
• Mini‑relays introducing baton passing

• Guided running of the cross country course to build confidence for the cross‑country component

   

We warmly encourage parents and guests to attend and support our young K–2 athletes as they participate with enthusiasm and courage. These cross‑age experiences continue to strengthen community connections and provide authentic opportunities for student leadership, with our Year 6 students modelling teamwork, encouragement and positivity throughout the day.

Our Wellbeing Focus

A Community of Connection, Character and Care

The Junior School continues to anchor its wellbeing culture in our Triangle of Focus, integrating:

• The Resilience Project – emphasising Gratitude, Empathy and Mindfulness
• The Berry Street Education Model – building emotional regulation, stamina, routines and positive relationships

• Strong school–family partnerships – promoting open communication and shared expectations

   

Across all three elements, a consistent message continues to guide our approach: the importance of students speaking up early. When a child experiences or witnesses unkind behaviour, we strongly encourage them to report it to a trusted staff member so we can respond quickly, support all students involved, and maintain a safe and respectful school environment.

Communication with families is also key, and we continue to communicate with your child's class teacher and Stage Leader to support you child.

A key part of this work is helping students understand the shared language of being upstanders, not bystanders.

An upstander is someone who:

• recognises when something is not right
• uses kind, safe and confident words to support others
• seeks help from an adult when needed

• chooses actions that make the situation better, not bigger

   

By contrast, a bystander stays silent or walks away when someone needs support.

Teaching students to be upstanders empowers them to take positive action, look after their peers, and contribute to a culture where everyone feels safe, respected and valued. When students understand that their voice matters, they are more likely to speak up, show empathy and help restore relationships.
