The power of strength: why the focus should be strength, not resilience

Our Principal, Kylie McCullah, recently shared her perspective on essential skills for young people. While digital literacy, leadership, confidence, and resilience are valuable, Kylie believes the most crucial skill is strength. Kylie emphasised that physical strength fosters discipline, determination, and self-confidence, translating into improved academic performance, better stress management, and a positive mindset. She also highlighted that developing cognitive strength prepares students for jobs yet to be conceived, making them adaptable and innovative.

By cultivating strength, Kylie believes we are investing in a future where young people are not just prepared for the unknown but are excited by it, ready to lead with boldness and creativity.

As we wrap up Term 3, there have been several memorable events in the last fortnight that showcased the spirit and culture of our school. We celebrated the Senior Sports Awards, recognising the achievements of our athletes. The Senior School Leadership Handover Assembly was a significant occasion, where we applauded the contributions of our Class of 2024 leaders and welcomed the incoming leaders from the Class of 2025. We had the privilege of hosting the Dusty Feet Mob, an Aboriginal dance group from Port Augusta. Students also enjoyed Languages Week, participating in a variety of cultural activities. The term concluded with our annual Mission Day, a fundraising effort supporting Mary Ward International, reflecting our commitment to service and social justice.
