Warm welcomes to everyone, I hope you all had a safe return to school and are enjoying yourselves.

I would just like to welcome all the year 7's and new students starting at the school. It was great to see a lot of the school dressed up for Harmony Day last Thursday, glad to see everyone getting involved and expressing their cultures with pride.

I'd like to congratulate the SRC's of Columba on being selected for their roles, and alongside that, give a massive congratulations to the house for the swimming carnival victory. Along with Ms McNally and Alliyah, we all appreciate all the effort Columba put on the day, we all had a great time. We hope to see this continue throughout the year, go Columba!

I hope everything is going well for everyone. I'd simply want to thank Columba for doing such an outstanding job during the swimming carnival. Especially to the students who gave their all at the swimming carnival and to those who participated. Columba has had a terrific start, and we are currently flying high; I encourage you all to maintain your attitude and enthusiasm throughout the year. I'd also like to thank the student council leaders for assisting Lennon and myself in working in a group and keeping the Columba spirit alive. I hope everyone had a fantastic first term, especially our year 7 students. I hope you enjoy your first few months at St. Johns.
