These sessions are an important part of our Pastoral Care program and provide valuable opportunities for Year 11 students to model leadership, reassurance and guidance as their younger students transition into Senior School experiences.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you and congratulations to our Term 2 Luminary Representatives. These students assist with organising and leading Luminary sessions within their groups alongside their Luminary teacher. I particularly want to acknowledge those students who have taken on this responsibility again, and I appreciate their ongoing commitment to supporting their Luminary group.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Term 2 Luminary Representatives<\/strong><\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;border-style: double\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 50%\">Abbeythorpe<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%\"><strong>Chloe Lay and Luella Farah<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 50%\">Booralee<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%\"><strong>Mikayla Woon and Stephanie Skilton<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 50%\">Churunga<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%\"><strong>Lilly Crowe and Amritha Ravichandra<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 50%\">Leawarra<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%\"><strong>Grace Kuman and Meena Kanthathas<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 50%\">Lester<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%\"><strong>Heather Yeon and Eadie Scott<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 50%\">Mooramoora<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%\"><strong>Harriet Hatton and Isla Pavlakos<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 50%\">Prescott<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%\"><strong>Niamh Johnson and Jemima Blake<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 50%\">Sutton<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%\"><strong>Janice Leong and Hannah North<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 50%\">Wade<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%\"><strong>Charlie Hughes and Annabella Wang<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 50%\">Whitley<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%\"><strong>Elisha Brown and Rebecca Ho-Bui<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I look forward to seeing many of you at the Year 11 Parent\/Teacher Evening which will be held on <strong>Wednesday 14 May 2026<\/strong>.
