Assistant Head of Primary P-4 and Gifted Education Coordinator P-6

Welcome to a new year of learning and belonging

In 2026, our College theme, Accept the Invitation, invites all of us – students, staff and families – to step into moments that help us learn, grow and connect with one another.

In Term 1, our pastoral focus is Building Connections. Throughout the term, students will explore what it means to form strong relationships, contribute positively to their community and experience a deep sense of belonging.

To begin the year, our first fortnightly focus – Belonging Begins Here and Relationships Matter – sets the tone for a safe, inclusive and welcoming start. During these first weeks, we are helping students settle into their classrooms, make new friendships and understand that each person brings something valuable to our community.

Throughout the term, we’ll explore how students can build positive connections by accepting the invitation to be kind, compassionate, respectful, inclusive, forgiving, reflective and courageous in standing up for others.

I look forward to walking alongside students and families as we begin this journey together.
