Principal's Log

As we engage in a range of celebrations at the end of the year, there is a sense of joy as we recognise how much young people have grown. This week parents, grandparents and staff had the pleasure of listening to our Year 3 and 4 Strings and our Year 5 and 6 Multi-Instrumental students perform. The growth and enjoyment that young people experience as part of these programs is a credit to our instrumental and music teachers.  We thank parents for their support and Head of P-12 Music, Mrs Aleisha Tuaine, Head of Instrumental Music, Mrs Helen Williams, Mr David Simpfendorfer and Instrumental music staff for their passionate leadership of the learning of music within the College.

High levels of parent engagement continues to be a very strong enabler within our community.  This has been particularly true within our Friends of Pacific, Pacific FC and PLC Club Netball.  As we plan for next year, there will be the opportunity for new people to play their part in continuing this important tradition. This week, the Pacific FC newsletter article highlights the opportunities for parents to lead within the Pacific FC and continue the tradition of quality connection and development for young people and their families. I would encourage our Pacific FC families to consider the ways in which they might contribute to the enhancement of this important part of our culture and connect with outgoing President Mrs Rita Williams and Canteen and Club Coordinator Mrs Jenny Lee via PacificFC@pacluth.qld.edu.au.

We look forward to a range of celebrations including our Year 12 graduation ceremonies, Sports Awards, Carols Evening, and Closing Services.  As we do so, we celebrate the strong partnerships that exist between parents, staff and students in the fostering of growth and opportunity within the College.

We say a prayer of thanks for the gifts that our Year 12 students have given to the people of this community.  We pray that God would continue to guide, protect, equip and encourage them to live hope-filled purposeful lives, experiencing joy and possibility as they step through life.
