It has been another vibrant and affirming period in the life of our College, marked by connection, celebration, and strong engagement with our community.

One of the highlights was the 40-Year Reunion, a wonderful opportunity to welcome alumni back to the College. It was inspiring to see past students reconnect, share their stories, and reflect on the lasting impact of their time here. Events like this remind us of the enduring strength of our community and the values that continue to unite generations of learners and their families.

We were also delighted to host the LCAA Parent Alumni Breakfast, a unique and meaningful gathering where parents who are themselves alumni, shared breakfast with their children who are now students of the College. This intergenerational connection is something truly special and speaks to the trust families place in our school and the sense of belonging that transcends time.

Our students continue to shine in Performing Arts. The Dance Performance Evening on Tuesday 2nd June was a standout event, showcasing the creativity, discipline, and passion of our dancers. The standard of performance was exceptional, and I congratulate all students and staff involved for a memorable evening that celebrated artistic expression and collaboration.

A reminder to families that tickets for our upcoming production of Newsies go on sale this week. Our College productions are renowned for their exceptionally high standard and typically sell out very quickly. I strongly encourage families to purchase tickets as soon as they become available to avoid disappointment.

Looking ahead, we are encouraged by the continued strength of our enrolments. The College remains a school of choice, with strong interest from families seeking a holistic and values-driven education for their children. On Wednesday 10th June, we had the pleasure of conducting interviews with prospective students and their families for Year 7 2028. These conversations are always a highlight, as we get to know the young people who may soon join our community and share in our vision.

Thank you, as always, for your ongoing support and commitment to the life of the College. Together, we continue to build a community where students are known, valued, and inspired to grow.
