Dear Parents, Staff and Students,

We are your 2026 Chisholm Captains, Cara and Janusz!

What an incredible start to the year it has been for Chisholm. We are so proud of the way everyone has supported each other, stepped outside their comfort zones, and brought so much energy to every event. It’s been amazing seeing our Chisholm community truly live out our 2026 house theme, “Courage Ignited, Connections United.”

One of the biggest highlights so far has been House Eisteddfod and seeing all the hard work behind SpongeBob the Musical finally come together on stage. A huge thank you to everyone who performed, helped backstage, or supported rehearsals along the way. The dedication and commitment shown by everyone was incredible, and securing the win made it even more special!

We’re also so proud of everyone who represented Chisholm at both Swimming and Athletics Carnivals. Whether you competed or cheered from the sidelines the House spirit was amazing to see. Bringing home another TWO wins was such a great achievement for our whole House! Let’s continue to work hard and together and carry our strong spirit throughout the rest of the year!

Recently, we came together for our House Celebration Mass. Thank you to everyone who played a role in making the celebration so meaningful, and we hope everyone enjoyed the opportunity to celebrate our Chisholm community together, especially with our morning tea to follow.

A massive thank you as well to everyone who supported our sold-out Chisholm “Cheaper Than KFC Go Buckets! Fundraiser in support of our House charity; the Caroline Chisholm Society. The support was amazing, keep your eyes out for another one coming soon!

It’s also been fantastic seeing so many people already getting involved in Public Speaking, and we’re really excited for all the opportunities still to come this year, especially House debating, chess and esports. We can’t wait to see even more students get involved and continue making Chisholm proud.

On behalf of all Chisholm students, we would like to thank all mentor teachers for being positive support systems, particularly on those hard early mornings. Also, our Head of House, Mrs Delosa, for all her hard work behind the scenes to keep Chisholm together!

Thank you again to everyone for making the start of this year so positive and successful. We’re so proud of what we’ve already achieved together, and we can’t wait to see what the rest of the year brings for Chisholm!

Our student of the fortnight is Miles Andrew, an amazing Year 7 student who has already made such a positive impact on the Chisholm community this year. We are so proud of the way Miles has thrown himself into every opportunity with so much enthusiasm, confidence, and school spirit.

A huge highlight was seeing Miles take on the lead role of Mr Krabs in House Eisteddfod’s SpongeBob the Musical. He absolutely lit up the stage, had the audience laughing the whole time, and brought so much energy and personality to the performance. It was incredible to see how confidently he stepped up and gave it his all.

Miles has also proudly represented Chisholm at both the Swimming and Athletics Carnivals and will soon be representing our house in Public Speaking as well. His willingness to get involved in so many different areas has been amazing to see, especially as a Year 7 student. We hope everyone is inspired by Mile’s eagerness to participate and tries it out themselves!

What makes Miles so special is the positivity he brings every single day. He is always smiling, saying hello to people in the hallways, and making others feel welcome. His kindness, energy, and encouragement towards others truly embody the Chisholm spirit.

We are so lucky to have Miles as part of Chisholm and can’t wait to see all the incredible things he achieves throughout the rest of the year and beyond!
