Joey's News - Week 3 - Term 4
From the Principal
Dear Parents, Carers and Families,
This afternoon, I had the pleasure of the announcing the Student School Leaders for 2026. After a detailed process, I am happy to announce that Stella Bush and Hunter Campbell will lead and represent the student body next year.
The process commenced last term with all Yr 5 students attending a Leadership Retreat. From there, interested students submitted a written application and then students who progressed to the speech stage were confirmed as being students of good standing. The next step saw them present speeches to the Yr 4-6 students and staff, who then voted on who they thought would be best suited for the role. The final step saw the top three votes for both boys and girls interviewed by myself and the chairperson of the School Board Mrs Elisha Barker. Then final decision was made by the Senior Leadership Team.
With Christ, we live, love and learn
James Roberts
Principal
