Primary Update

Last week I had the pleasure of meeting with our Year 5 students who are interested in leadership for next year. I was so impressed by their love for our school and their genuine desire to serve our community. What stood out most was how caring they are,  many expressed a desire to welcome new students, make sure others feel heard, and ensure everyone is supported. Impressive stuff!

We were so encouraged by their enthusiasm that we are expanding leadership opportunities in Primary for 2026. This means more students with a heart for service will have the chance to contribute in different ways. Our Captain and Vice-Captain speeches will be held this Friday, followed by endorsements from students and staff.

I will be on Long Service Leave next week (Week 4). Any queries during this time can be directed to m.hubbard@wwcc.nsw.edu.au, and she will ensure they reach the right person in my absence.

Our Year 5 students reminded me that true leadership begins with compassion — noticing others, listening well, and leading with kindness.

“Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.” -  Ephesians 4:32
