We had an unprecedented number of parent nominations, and once again I thank all those that put themselves forward for these roles. We are so fortunate to have such a strong connection with our parent/carer community which cultivates belonging, engagement and inclusivity.

The 2026 School Captain portrait was hung at the McKinnon Road Campus, and I once again congratulate Maleesha Dharmadasa and Angus Booth on their appointment as the senior leaders of our school.
