I felt very privileged last week to be commissioned as the fourth principal of West Moreton Anglican College. Thank you to all staff, students and community members who worked to put together such a wonderfully welcoming Commissioning so early in our school year.
I’ve been overwhelmed by the support that I have received since the announcement of my appointment, with the reach of the West Moreton Anglican College community demonstrating the strength of the network that has been developed over the last 32 years.
It was an honour to have Archbishop Jeremey Greaves visit our College last week and lead the service. I would also like to acknowledge and thank our College Captains for their thoughtful and well-delivered speeches on behalf of the student body.
As I look forward to the year ahead and the start to my tenure as Principal of the College, I am exceptionally excited by a number of great opportunities for our school and community. The foundations laid by our previous principals and our College Council have our school very much ready for the next chapter of our journey.
The facilities work that is well underway at both the front of the school and through our 2040 Master Plan will fundamentally reshape our school environment. The opportunity for us to open our new Student Hub next year is a tangible reminder of the value that the College has always placed on the importance of our students and the care we will take to support them through school and beyond. It is also a building which will provide a symbolic reminder of our connection with each other and the work we can do together to support each and every student of West Moreton Anglican College.
That being said it is the people who make a school great, not the facilities.
When I look back at my previous 27 years working in schools – and my two years working outside of schools – I know that our greatest strength is the quality of people involved in the organisation.
West Moreton Anglican College is blessed to have so many wonderful people in its College Community and that provides me with a high level of confidence in our ongoing and future success.
My commitment to this community is that I will work to ensure that our school provides the very best opportunities for our students, and for our staff, to pursue excellence.
I look forward to further connecting with our school community over the coming months.

Principal
Concerns over student wellbeing are being raised around the country. Anxiety, depression and other mental health issues are being cited as one of the main drivers of a downward trend in school attendance since the Covid-19 lockdowns and studies show that more students are receiving support for anxiety and stress than ever before.
To address these issues, some schools are thinking of new ways to widen the scope of wellbeing initiatives they offer. One method that’s becoming increasingly popular is the use of wellbeing dogs.
Wellbeing dogs are furry friends trained to provide comfort, companionship, and emotional support. They promote overall mental health and can be found in similar settings as well as universities, workplaces and community centres, where they help create a calming environment and reduce stress. Wellbeing dogs are playing an increasingly important role in schools to support students' well-being and learning, reduce stress and anxiety, and promote attendance.
I am pleased to announce that late last year approval was granted for the Chaplaincy Team to have a College Wellbeing dog. So…..
Meet Evie.
Evie is a 5-month-old first generation Cavoodle with an enormous heart and love of cuddles. She has been undergoing training for her role at WestMAC and is expected to be on site from Term 2, 2025. As expected, there are many students and staff who are super excited to have Evie join the WestMAC Community, so for her own wellbeing, I will be rolling out some educational materials throughout term 1 to teach everyone how to calmly and appropriately interact with her. Interactions with Evie can be requested by students and staff and she will always be on lead with a trained handler. Evie’s office will be in the Wellbeing Centre and her workdays will be Monday, Wednesday and Thursday. She will be a fantastic addition to the College and to the wellbeing of our students and staff.
World Day of Prayer 2025
World Day of Prayer is a worldwide ecumenical movement of women of many faith traditions who come together to observe a common day of prayer each year on the first Friday in March. Throughout the entire day, we collectively pray all over the world, beginning with the first sunrise and ending at the last sunset. Our prayers follow the sun’s path around the globe. WDP’s motto is “Informed prayer leads to prayerful action.” Through World Day of Prayer, women affirm that prayer and action are inseparable and that both have immeasurable influence in the world.
Coordinated services of Christian worship and prayer are held across the world in over 170 countries, directed by the international body – the World Day of Prayer International. The program for the service is prepared well in advance by women from one focus country of the world. Each service has an advertised theme and involves Bible readings, prayers and songs and a reflection and is attended by women and men.
This year the Ipswich Central event for the World Day of Prayer on Friday, 7 March is being hosted by St Paul’s Anglican Church. If you are interested in attending or would like to participate, please contact 3812 0377 for more information.
College Hymn
In 2025 approval was granted for the use of another version of the College Hymn “On Eagle’s Wings” by Michael Joncas. A version which Michael, himself, modernised to contain more inclusive lyrics.
An important part of Anglican Identity, and therefore WestMAC, is to be inclusive. Inclusion is both a reality and a goal of Anglican schools. As College Chaplain, one of my responsibilities is to uplift and uphold the Anglican Identity of our school hence the change to a version of the College Hymn which is used in Anglican and Episcopal Churches around the world.
In the new version of "On Eagle's Wings" 5 words were changed by the original author of the hymn and the number of verses, choruses, and the musical composition remains the same.
Please see attached the new version of "On Eagle's Wings" by Michael Joncas.
World’s Greatest Shave 2025
It’s back!!! This year WestMAC will again host a World’s Greatest Shave event raising much needed funds for The Leukaemia Foundation. This College event will occur on March 27.
Blood cancer is Australia's hidden cancer crisis. Today, there are 150,000 families facing blood cancer, and 17 Australians will lose their life. Every year, thousands of Australians step up to Shave, Cut, or Colour their hair and raise funds in support of those affected.
Every dollar you raise will help provide families with practical and emotional support to get them through the many challenges that blood cancer can bring. And you'll power Australia's brightest research minds, bringing us closer to our goal of zero lives lost to blood cancer by 2035.
For more information, please contact Rev’d Jane or Mr Alcorn.
Many blessings,
The WestMAC Chaplaincy Team

Article from Michele Juratowich - Nutrition for Brain Power
High performance racing cars need high octane fuel and children and adolescents who are growing rapidly and thinking quickly need regular nutritious meals that will provide appropriate levels of energy to enable high performance. Energy for the brain comes from the digested food which releases sugars into the blood. High ability children and adolescents think efficiently but they use up more glucose in the process. They need regular supplies of glucose to provide the required energy and this is best provided through foods that are digested slowly and release blood sugars over time.
Breakfast is a critical meal for us all because our bodies have been deprived of food for hours and we need the energy from a nutritious breakfast to get us through the day. Students who rush out of the house without breakfast often suffer from headaches, dizziness, irritability, declines in concentration and reduced memory function around mid-morning. A breakfast which includes complex carbohydrates as well as protein allows the body to slowly release energy, enabling the brain to function at peak efficiency.
When we experience depleted levels of blood sugar, there is a tendency for the body to crave sweet, sugary food to provide a quick increase in blood sugar levels. The problem is that sugary foods or simple carbohydrates provide a surge in blood sugar levels but these levels crash again as the blood sugars are quickly used up, setting up a pattern of fluctuating blood sugar levels and frequent cravings for another sugar “fix”.
Snacks throughout the day are needed to provide the steady release of energy, but the snacks should include fruit, vegetables, wholegrain and protein foods rather than sweets, cakes and biscuits. Energy levels are maintained because the digestion of these foods provides a slow release of blood sugar into the blood and then to the brain. Students who arrive home tired and irritable may be suffering from depleted blood sugar levels and need another nutritious snack before they sit down to study. Brains don’t work properly without nutritious food to keep brains energised.
Fluid – preferably plain water, not high sugar or caffeine drinks – throughout the day is also critical to hydrate the body and provide the biochemical environment in which neurons synapse. A lack of fluid will also contribute to reduced brain function, irritability and headaches as well as placing stress upon kidneys, especially in our hot climate.
When students have had a good night’s sleep and begin the day with breakfast which includes whole grains, fruit and protein, have nutritious lunch and snacks at morning and afternoon breaks, they are well equipped to concentrate in class, think clearly and maintain energy for their bodies and brain throughout the day.

Great start!
The start of the 2025 school year has been exceptionally positive for our Middle School. The students have shown remarkable enthusiasm and dedication, setting a high standard for the rest of the year. One of the standout aspects has been the grooming and uniform standards. The students have adhered to the guidelines with great diligence, presenting themselves in a manner that reflects the school's values of discipline and respect.
The uniformity in appearance has not only fostered a sense of belonging and pride among the students but has also minimized distractions, allowing them to focus more on their studies and extracurricular activities. The minor issues that have arisen have been swiftly addressed, thanks to the proactive approach of the staff, parents, and the students. These issues have been few and far between, and their quick resolution has ensured that they do not disrupt the overall positive atmosphere of the school.
A significant factor in this successful start has been the unwavering support from the parents. I would like to thank our parents and carers for their involvement and cooperation ensuring that the students are well-prepared and motivated. The excellent turnout of middle school students is a testament to the strong partnership between the school and the families. This collaboration has created a nurturing environment where students feel supported both at home and at school.
The teachers and administrative staff have also played a crucial role in this smooth beginning for 2025. Their dedication to maintaining high standards and their commitment to the students' well-being have been evident in every aspect of the school's operations. From organizing engaging and informative orientation sessions to ensuring that the school facilities are in top condition, their efforts have laid a solid foundation for the rest of the academic year.
In addition to the academic focus, the school has also placed a strong emphasis on extracurricular activities. The various sports teams and the Arts programs have seen enthusiastic participation from the students, providing them with opportunities to explore their interests and develop new skills. These activities have not only enriched the students' school experience but have also helped in building a strong sense of community and teamwork. Our TAS fixture vs St Pauls on the weekend show cased the enthusiastic participation by our students.
Overall, the start of the 2025 school year has been marked by a sense of optimism and excitement. The excellent grooming and uniform standards, the swift resolution of minor issues, and the strong support from parents have all contributed to a positive and productive environment. As we move forward, we are confident that this strong start will pave the way for continued success and growth for our middle school students.
Thank you once again to the parents for their invaluable support and to the students for their dedication and enthusiasm. Together, we are creating a school community that is not only focused on academic excellence but also on fostering a sense of pride, respect, and unity. Here is to a fantastic year ahead!

Firstly, the WestMAC Student Wellbeing team is excited to welcome Ms Allison Flanagan as our new College Counsellor joining Mrs Tia Reardon. Ms Flanagan is a Social Worker with an extensive background in supporting young people and offering therapeutic interventions across community, medical, and schooling contexts. To meet with Ms Flanagan please utilise the email contact information provided or refer to the Counselling and Wellbeing Centre NEST page.
Mindfulness can be a powerful tool for managing stress, improving focus, and enhancing emotional wellbeing. Mindfulness is the practice of paying attention to the present moment without judgment, and it can be incredibly beneficial for both children and adults. Research has shown that mindfulness not only reduces anxiety and stress but also improves concentration, emotional regulation, and overall mental health.
The Benefits of Mindfulness: Studies have shown that regular mindfulness practice can have lasting positive effects. For children, mindfulness can:
- Reduce Stress and Anxiety: By teaching children how to focus on the present moment, mindfulness can reduce the worry and stress that often arise from school, friendships, or personal challenges.
- Enhance Emotional Regulation: Mindfulness helps children become more aware of their emotions and reactions, allowing them to pause and choose more appropriate responses to difficult situations.
- Improve Concentration and Attention: Research indicates that mindfulness exercises can improve children’s ability to focus, which can enhance their academic performance and overall attention span.
- Boost Resilience: Mindfulness fosters a sense of calm and balance, helping children cope with setbacks and adapt to challenges more effectively.
How Parents Can Practice Mindfulness with Their Children
Engaging in mindfulness with your child doesn’t require extensive training – it’s about incorporating simple practices into everyday life. Here are a few ways parents can get started:
- Breathing Exercises: Teach your child to take slow, deep breaths. Try the “5-4-3-2-1” technique: inhale for 5 seconds, hold for 4, exhale for 3, hold for 2, and breathe normally for 1. This helps ground them when feeling anxious or overwhelmed.
- Mindful Eating: Encourage your child to eat a meal or snack mindfully by focusing on the texture, taste, and smell of their food. This activity helps children slow down and be present in the moment.
- Body Scan: Guide your child through a body scan, where they focus on each part of their body from head to toe, noticing any tension or sensations. This can help them relax and increase awareness of their physical state.
- Mindful Walking: Go on a walk with your child and encourage them to pay attention to the sights, sounds, and smells around them. Ask them to describe what they notice as a way to bring their focus to the present. Another fun way that can add to this strategy, especially with younger students, is to introduce a scavenger hunt element to the mindful walk. A mindful scavenger hunt may encourage the participants to look for certain elements of nature, a specific colour, or a sound.
Mindfulness is a skill that, when practiced regularly, can bring immense benefits to your child’s emotional and mental wellbeing. By making mindfulness a part of your family’s routine, you can help your child develop resilience, emotional intelligence, and a greater sense of calm.
If you have any questions about how to implement these recommendations or other concerns about supporting young people with emotional regulation, please feel free to contact the counselling team as needed.

One of the highlights of the day was the incredible atmosphere surrounding our Year 7 Volleyball team.
