2022 Year 6 Leadership Positions

Congratulations to our Year 5 students on their positions of responsibility for 2022. Our leadership structure provides maximum opportunity for all students to not only be seen as the leaders of our Junior School but to also actively influence and contribute to our culture and daily school life. We are looking forward to. Seeing each and every student grow into their roles next year as they take over as leaders of our Junior School.


THANK YOU

As we close the year with celebrations as a community, it is a time to reflect all that we have accomplished together throughout 2021. I truly do have the best job in the world to be leading our Junior School in a way that allows our students to thrive, develop their talents, discover new passions, and create amazing things. I wanted to take a moment in our last newsletter of the year to just say thank you to our entire community. Thank you for the thousands of lunches you have made, thank you for wiping the tears, thank you for celebrating the special moments, thank you for working in partnership with our teachers and most importantly, thank you for trusting us to be part of your child’s learning journey. We are genuinely excited about 2022 and what God has in store for our community. Have a fabulous and refreshing break, enjoy the moments together as a family and celebrate the special festive season.
