32nd Founders’ Day Ceremony

This week we had the privilege of celebrating the College’s 32nd Founders’ Day — a milestone that commemorates the laying and blessing of the Foundation Stone on 18 July 1993.

Founders’ Day is a special occasion in the life of our College. It offers us a moment to pause and reflect on the vision and commitment of those who laid the foundations for West Moreton Anglican College. It is also a time to acknowledge how far we have come as a community, and to recommit ourselves to the values that continue to guide us today.

We were honoured to welcome Bishop Cameron Venables, Bishop for the Western Region, who presided at this year’s ceremony, apart from his usual, engaging address, Bishop Cameron also commissioned two new College Council members - AIRCDRE Robert Graham and Mr Jon Neale. 

A much-loved part of Founders’ Day is the recognition of long-serving staff who have made significant contributions to College life over many years. This year, we congratulated the following staff members:

25 Year Service Stars

• Ian Hayne
• Jenny Lostroh
• Sharon Loeffel
• Janet Kennedy
• Ken Harvie
• Michelle Madden

20 Year Service Medal

• Tricia Steele

10 Year Service Badges

• Rob Hillier
• Ben O’Connell
• David Teakle
• Kandy Shih
• Carol Goodwin
• Jon Gillinder
• Don Brosnan
• Lateticia Strohben
• Renae Alexander

As this was my first Founders’ Day at WestMAC, it was a deeply meaningful opportunity to witness the spirit and history of the College in action. I feel proud to be part of this community — and excited for the journey ahead as we continue to build on this strong and inspiring legacy.

Wulkuraka Connection Road Flashing School Zone Lights - Now Operational

You may have noticed that the new flashing school zone lights on Wulkuraka Connection Road are now installed and fully operational.

This milestone is the result of years of dedicated advocacy by our Parents and Friends Committee. I extend my sincere thanks to the many members — past and present — who have campaigned tirelessly for this important safety measure.
