​​​All Year 6 Leaders received their Leadership badges early in Term 1 ​as part of a Welcome and Commissioning Liturgy that was beautifully prepared and presented by Mr Armstrong, APRE, and the Year 6 teachers and their classes. We were also blessed to welcome Fr Rony to his first celebration with our community. The commissioning is a special moment in the lives of these young students at St Catherine's. They have been a wonderful group as they have moved through the school and I know they are more then ready to step into the school leadership role. I wish them all the best for an amazing last year of primary school at our incredible school.

While each and every one of our Year 6 students were commissioned and blessed as our 2025 School Leaders, some of our Year 6 students have been called to a special ministry of service this year at St Catherine’s.

Our students who had nominated the​mselves, presented a short speech about why they believe they should be chosen to serve as House Captains and School Captains.  They spoke to their peers about the many qualities of being a Servant Leader, such as treating others with respect, standing up for others, being kind and caring.  They spoke about the various roles and responsibilities they would accept.

Our Year 6 School Captains and House Captains will be responsible for the organisation of some of these aspects of our school life:

As a community we celebrate the achievements of our athletes through Age Champion trophies, poets at the Poetry Festival, Writers and Mathematicians through ICAS Testing. We also provide an avenue for the L​eaders in our community to find their role and voice in the Year 6 group. It must be remembered that ALL children in Year 6 will be leaders and all will have many responsibilities. We are excited to be able to provide this unique opportunity to our students. ​
