From the Primary Coordinator

“We should be shining lamps, giving light to all around us.”

Last week we proudly presented leadership badges to our Year 6 Music, JAM and House Leaders, along with our Semester One SRC representatives. This is always a special moment in the life of our school, as we recognise students who have stepped forward with courage, enthusiasm, and a generous spirit.

Our theme for the year, Animated by Love, invites our leaders to model the kind of service that flows from compassion, kindness, and a desire to uplift others. Leadership is not simply about a title or badge – it is about the way we choose to act, speak, and care for those around us. In receiving their badges, our students have committed to leading through service, joy, and a genuine love for their school community.

Catherine McAuley reminds us, “We should be shining lamps, giving light to all around us.” This call to be a light captures the heart of our leadership vision. Whether supporting younger students, helping organise school events, guiding peers in music or JAM activities, or representing their class on the SRC, our leaders shine through the small, everyday actions that strengthen our community.

We congratulate each student who accepted a leadership role for Semester One. We know they will bring creativity, energy, and compassion to their responsibilities, and we thank them for saying “yes” to serving others.

May they continue to lead with hearts animated in love, and may their leadership inspire others to shine just as brightly.
