Principal's Press
From the Principal
Nehemiah 3 isn’t just a construction report, it’s a portrait of a community in motion. Gate by gate, section by section, we see people stepping up: priests, rulers, families, craftsmen. Each one took responsibility. Each one served. Together, they rebuilt what was broken.
In our school, we witness the same spirit. Students leading with courage, staff serving with quiet faithfulness, teams working diligently behind the scenes. Leadership here isn’t about titles, it’s about showing up, taking ownership, and building something that lasts.
Let Nehemiah’s wall remind us: when we serve with purpose, lead with humility, and work with diligence, we don’t just restore structures, we build a community.

Introducing our new College Captains
We are delighted to announce and warmly welcome our 2026 College Captains! These outstanding students have been chosen to lead with integrity, kindness, and a heart to serve our community.
Every week we will share the heart behind each captain. This week, we have Cadel Harris.
As Captain of the College, I have a keen interest in leadership and teamwork. I know it is going to be fun and challenging! I am looking forward to working with the Year 6 Captains as a mentor to promote self-confidence, responsibility, and pride in their role.
A little bit about me - I enjoy technology and building creative projects to explore and learn how things work. Being part of my church community is important to me, as it helps me grow in faith and contribute through areas like lighting and media.
