And just like that the 2025 school year comes to a close. With all that has happened, it is hard to think back to January and where it all started!
As I write my final article for the year, I am very excited to announce that the PCS staffing roster is complete! What a blessing it is to have all our positions filled for next year going into the holiday period. We have an incredible staff at PCS, and I want to thank and acknowledge them for all their hard work this year. There is a great level of care shown each day for our students and an enormous amount of work that happens behind the scenes to make the day to day teaching possible.
To the families of PCS, a huge thank you from me to you. It is no small thing to partner with you in education, and we are privileged to have been able to work with all of you this year. I have again enjoyed the great level of support shown by all of you towards me and the PCS staff. You are a wonderful parent community who help make this school a warm and welcoming place to be. Thank you!
To the students, you are the whole reason PCS exists. You are not on earth by accident and you are not at PCS by accident. You are here for a purpose! 2026 is going to be a year of opportunity for you. I pray that as you go into these Christmas holidays, you get some rest and enjoy plenty of time being kids. But at the same time I hope you prepare yourself to hit 2026 running, ready to make it your best year yet!
And finally I’d like to say Merry Christmas. Jesus is the reason we are here. He is the reason PCS exists and the reason that I love being part of this incredible school community. I pray that in the midst of all the end of year events, there will be a moment where each of us can stop and know that Jesus came as a gift for you. You were worth it. You are no accident. You are loved.
So as we look to 2026 with our new Administration building, Hospitality Centre and HS sports oval set to be open, our Primary and Library building set to begin construction, record student numbers, an amazing staff lineup and a whole host of amazing student opportunities I hope you are as excited as I am. I am so privileged to be the principal of this great school and can’t wait to work with all of you to make next year the best year yet.
I have a profound sense of gratitude when I consider what I get to be a part of at PCS. It is the greatest privilege to be involved in Christian education and to lead this school. Where else would I possibly want to be than right here at this time. I am extremely grateful that during these exciting times I get to be a part of PCS and to work with all of you. As God continues to bless this school, all of us should continue to thank him for all He has done, and all he is doing in this place.
Go and do some fishing and have a Merry Christmas PCS.
