Selecting Our Schools Captains for 2026
Today, we completed the interviews for the 2026 School Captains. The panel will be reconvening early next week to make a final decision. If your child is selected for one of these roles, we will call you next week to see if you can attend assembly where they will be announced.
Interview Day - 2026
Although we are still very busy finishing off 2025, we have been completing many tasks that relate to 2026. One of these tasks is organising an opportunity for all our families to meet with their child’s teacher on the first day of Term 1, 2026.
