Student Voices
Earlier this month we shared a video featuring two of our students, Pavneet and Arun, who were asked a simple question: how would you describe learning at CWLA? Their answers spoke for themselves. We are grateful to Pavneet and Arun for sharing their experience so honestly. Hearing directly from our students about what learning means to them is one of the most genuine reflections of our school we can offer.
Welcome Back to Term 4
Students and staff returned to campus on the 13th of October for the start of Term 4. The final term of the year carries its own particular energy, and it was pleasing to see our community return with enthusiasm and readiness for the weeks ahead. There is a great deal still to come this year, and we look forward to finishing the year well together.
Wolfgang in The Stars
Our Kindergarten and Stage 1 students attended a live performance of Wolfgang in The Stars at the DTRCC. Stage 1 took their seats at 10am, with Kindergarten following at 12.30pm. Live performance sparks imagination and a love of storytelling in a way few other experiences can, and it was a wonderful way for our youngest learners to begin the term.
Headspace: Managing the Bull
CWLA welcomed Headspace to campus for their Managing the Bull program. Students explored practical ways to manage challenges, build resilience and look after their wellbeing. Giving our students the tools to take care of themselves is one of the most important things we can do, and we are grateful to Headspace for bringing this program to our school.
Meet Our Teachers: Mr Tarry
This month we shared the story of Mr Tarry, a valued member of our teaching staff, who came to teaching after a career change. He made the move because he believes education can change the way people see the world, and that belief is exactly what we look for in the educators who join us at CWLA. His message is a simple one: education opens minds and changes how we see one another.
We thank Mr Tarry for sharing his story so generously. The quality and character of our teaching staff sits at the heart of what CWLA offers, and moments like these give our families a genuine window into the people who walk alongside their children every day.
Little Leaders Day
CWLA welcomed our Little Leaders to campus for the day. From 9am to 3pm, our newest learners explored their future classrooms, met their teachers and got a real taste of life at CWLA. It was a joy to have them here, and we look forward to welcoming them as full members of our community in 2027.
House Captain Speeches and Voting
Our students came together for House Meetings, with our Senior and Junior House Captain candidates stepping up to address their peers. It takes real courage to stand in front of your school community and put your hand up for a leadership role, and I was proud of every candidate who did so. Congratulations to all who participated, and to those elected to serve as House Captains.
Inaugural Art Auction
Our P&C held CWLA’s inaugural Art Auction, giving parents and community members the opportunity to take home the artwork of our students. The event also featured musical entertainment from our talented students. Events like this reflect the strength and creativity of our community, and I thank our P&C for bringing this wonderful initiative to life for the first time.
World Teachers’ Day
On World Teachers' Day we marked the occasion with a morning tea for our staff. Teachers who truly know each student make all the difference. Their care, dedication and passion shape our students every single day, and it was a pleasure to take a moment to recognise and thank them.
A Month to Carry Forward
October has been a month of genuine richness: in learning, in community, in the voices of students and teachers, and in the events that remind us of what a school can be when its community is invested and engaged.
