Week 4
Term 4 continues to bring wonderful community celebrations. It was delightful to host grandparents at both Calista and Wellard campuses last week. The Chapel Services celebrated the importance played by grandparent figures in the lives of children. The students were very proud to show off their classrooms and work afterwards. Our Year 12s began their ATAR exams last week and we send our best wishes to them as they complete their exams. It was a busy week with Year 11s Outdoor Recreation expedition, Music Eisteddfods and the KSSA Athletics Carnival.
2021 Student Leadership
In Week 3 we held our Student Leader Announcement Assembly. The assembly brought the Junior School and Senior School together to announce the student leaders for 2021. The School Prefects were announced along with the Junior School Captains. We are blessed with potential leaders and the selection process was a difficult one. I thank all the candidates for putting themselves forward and acknowledge the students who missed out on a role for the dignity and grace in which they handled the news.
