Principal's Message

The term kicked off with our hugely successful Athletics Day in Mosgiel, expertly organised by Janine Southby and Elise McIlroy. Losing access to the Caledonian presented a challenge, but through Janine and Elise’s dedication, alongside the collective efforts of our staff and parent community, this obstacle was overcome. It was fantastic to see everyone come together to ensure our students could enjoy such a memorable day.

This was quickly followed by our school production, which was another outstanding success. A huge thank you to Charlotte Cooper for leading this initiative, supported by Lisa Dixon, Jake Scott and the many other staff members who contributed their time and talents, including those working behind the scenes in preparation and on the nights. The energy, commitment and teamwork that went into the two performances were evident, and we are incredibly proud of everyone involved.

As we move further into the term, we remain focused on ensuring our students are well prepared for the next stage of their learning journey. For our Year 8 students, this means supporting a smooth and confident transition to Year 9, while also ensuring our current Year 7 students understand what to expect as they move into Year 8 at Balmacewen Intermediate in 2027.

It is shaping up to be another busy and rewarding term, and I would like to thank our staff, parents and wider school community for the continued support, commitment and encouragement you provide. Together, we create the opportunities and experiences that help our young people thrive.

Corey Todd
