From the Leader of Wellbeing and Learning
Welcome to the start of a new year. This year sees several new faces in the Wellbeing Team at the College. Welcome back to Mr Jarryd Leaves, Leader of Wellbeing Year 8, and to Mr Kharl Carlos, Leader of Wellbeing Year 9, who have both returned from paternity leave. In 2025 we also have two Assistant Leaders of Wellbeing on the Senior Campus. They will work closely with the Leaders of Wellbeing to support our students to be the best they can be. I would like to introduce and welcome our new Assistant Leaders of Wellbeing: Mrs Dahana Biernat, Year 11 and Ms Christina Rujicica, Year 12. The Leaders of Wellbeing and their Assistants, along with the Learning Advisors, are a great source of support for students and parents throughout the year as they support the student’s wellbeing and learning.

Leadership
Our leaders, on both campuses, have begun the school year by hitting the ground running - they have organised activities for St Valentine's Day (which was held yesterday due to the Swimming Carnival), and have organised cheers, relays and motivated their House for today’s Swimming Carnival.
I look forward to a wonderful year ahead.
Mrs Sue Cooper
Leader of Wellbeing and Learning
