✨❤️ 🖤 💛LEADING WITH PRIDE💙 🤍 💚✨

Today we were incredibly proud of MJ and Nate, who represented Karrendi at our Portfolio Meeting, where principals and kindergarten leaders came together 🤩

MJ and Nate delivered an authentic Acknowledgement of Country that they had thoughtfully collaborated to write themselves. Standing in front of a room full of educational leaders, they spoke with confidence, respect and pride, sharing words that reflected their understanding and commitment to honouring Country 🌱

Their courage, teamwork and leadership were inspiring and they represented our school community beautifully 🤔

We are so incredibly proud of you both, MJ and Nate. Thank you for leading by example and reminding us all of the power of student voice 😭

✨👚TRENDY TUESDAY 👖✨

Although Tess is now enjoying maternity leave, one of the many wonderful gifts she brought to Karrendi continues to bring our community together—Trendy Tuesday 👕

What better way to celebrate today’s Trendy Tuesday than by recognising National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children’s Day. Thank you to everyone who helped bring today’s Trendy Tuesday to life. Your enthusiasm and teamwork continue to make these moments so special for our learners 🤩

✨❤️💛🖤NATIONAL ABORIGINAL AND TORRES STRAIT ISLANDER CHILDREN’S DAY💙🤍💚✨

Today we acknowledged National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children’s Day 🗓️

This year’s theme, Living Our Truth, celebrated the importance of truth-telling, sharing knowledge across generations, and honouring the voices, stories and cultures of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples 🌱

Throughout the day, our learners participated in a range of meaningful activities that encouraged listening, learning and reflection. They enjoyed watching Bluey in language together, shared stories, and explored what it means to be a truth-teller and truth-listener. These experiences helped deepen their understanding and appreciation of the rich histories, cultures and perspectives of Australia’s First Nations peoples 👂

A true highlight of the day was welcoming our treasured Elder, Aunty Tania. The smiles, curiosity and joy on our learners’ faces said it all. We are so grateful to Aunty Tania for sharing her time, wisdom and stories with our Karrendi family. Your ongoing support helps our learners build meaningful connections with culture and continue their journey of learning with open hearts and minds 🥰

At Karrendi we are proud to create opportunities for our learners to grow with curiosity, respect and understanding as we continue our journey of reconciliation together 🫱🏽‍🫲🏻

✨ 🦽 WHEELCHAIR BASKETBALL 🏀 ✨

Yesterday, Room 7 and our team were incredibly fortunate to welcome David Gould and Cooper Spillane to Karrendi 🤩

David and Cooper shared their personal stories with our learners, answered thoughtful questions, and inspired us all with their resilience, achievements and passion for wheelchair basketball. Our children then had the opportunity to learn wheelchair basketball skills before enjoying a game together, with plenty of laughter, teamwork and determination 🦽

The visit beautifully reflected Karrendi’s commitment to belonging and inclusion, helping our learners recognise that everyone has unique strengths and that our differences are something to celebrate. It was a powerful reminder that people with disability, limb differences or amputations can pursue their dreams and achieve incredible things 💪

A heartfelt thank you to David and Cooper for sharing your time, your stories and your wisdom with our learners. Yesterday was a wonderful reminder that when we embrace each other’s differences, everyone belongs 🫂

✨ 🚗 DRIVING WHAT MATTERS MOST 🚙 ✨

Turns out driving a vehicle isn’t the only thing Larissa is good at driving…

She’s equally talented at driving teacher growth, continuous improvement and ultimately, better outcomes for our children 💪

A huge congratulations to Larissa on being appointed to the tenured Pedagogical Coach position for 2027–2032 💐

This role attracted an exceptionally strong field of applicants, making this achievement even more special. Throughout the selection process, Larissa shone. Her passion for teaching and learning, deep knowledge and unwavering commitment to supporting others made her an outstanding candidate 🤩

Since joining Karrendi, Larissa has played a significant role in building teacher capacity, always with one goal in mind: ensuring every child receives the very best education possible. She understands that when we invest in our people, our children are the ones who benefit most 👦🏼

What makes Larissa truly exceptional, though, isn’t just her expertise. It’s the way she leads people. Her warmth, kindness and genuine ability to listen are some of her greatest strengths. She has an incredible way of making people feel heard, valued and capable, while gently challenging them to grow. She celebrates others, asks thoughtful questions, shares her knowledge so generously and leads with both heart and authenticity 🥰

Larissa, we are so incredibly proud of you. Thank you for the difference you’ve already made to our team,,our children and our community. We feel incredibly fortunate that you’ll continue this important work at Karrendi and we can’t wait to see the impact you’ll have over the years ahead 👀

Congratulations on such a well-deserved achievement 🏆
