2026 Term 4 Week 5 13 Nov 2026

Dear Lindisfarne Parents and Guardians,

Last Saturday night was a wonderful night of celebration as we gathered at People's First Stadium for our Year 12 Formal. It was a spectacular occasion celebrating our Class of 2026, and seeing our graduates dressed up, sharing memories, and enjoying the evening alongside their families and teachers was a fitting highlight to celebrate their school journey.

On Tuesday, our Middle School gathered to hear speeches from our Year 7 students for Middle School Captains positions for 2027. Stepping up in front of your peers to deliver a leadership speech requires real courage, and I was impressed by the poise, vision, and heart demonstrated by all candidates. We look forward to announcing our Middle School Captains for 2027 in due course.

On Wednesday, our school community paused to observe Remembrance Day. It was a poignant time for students and staff across both campuses to reflect, honor the service and sacrifice of our servicemen and women, and pay our respects in a moment of quiet gratitude.

Wednesday also brought a tremendous showcase of creativity, performance, and talent at our Stage 3 Production. It was an extraordinary display of what our Stage 3 students are capable of as they delivered an exceptional show. My sincere thanks to Leona Konik, Kim Shepherd, Jesse Edwards, Amy Camer and Rod Bertram, as well as our Stage 3 team and support staff, for their dedication and hard work to make Voices of the Wild such a resounding success.

On Thursday morning, we hosted our Principal's Tour at our Sunshine Avenue Campus. It is always a pleasure to walk prospective families through our Junior School spaces, and seeing the high level of interest from families seeking a Lindisfarne education for their children remains encouraging. It was wonderful to meet so many new faces and share the life of our school with them.

Yesterday and today, I have been attending the Term 4 Diocesan Schools Network (DSN) meeting at Emmanuel Anglican College in Ballina alongside leaders from across our member schools of the Grafton Diocese. Connecting with colleagues, sharing insights, and collaborating on shared educational opportunities is always a valuable exercise, and I return with much to reflect upon.

Today our K–2 students took to the pool for their annual Swimming Carnival. It was such a fun, joyful day of participation, house spirit, and water safety for our youngest learners. My thanks to Nathan Croft, our Junior School staff and parent volunteers who helped make the day run so smoothly.

This evening, we are delighted to welcome back our Class of 2006 for their 20-Year Reunion. Gathering with past students, hearing about their life journeys post-school, and walking them through the many campus developments over the past two decades is always a special occasion. I know it will be a wonderful evening of reconnection and nostalgia for all attending.

Thank you to our staff for their continued energy throughout another full week, and to our parents for your ongoing support.

Warm regards,

Stuart Marquardt
Principal

Dear Members of the Lindisfarne School Community,

The Graduating Class of 2026

It was a joy to gather last weekend to celebrate our Graduating Class of 2026 at the Graduation Eucharist and the Formal. Both of these events were wonderful occasions to give thanks to God for our Graduating Class of 2026: for who they are and for the gifts they have given to our School community. They have left a great legacy of leadership, services, kindness, resilience and harmony. We pray that the good Lord blesses their future endeavours and enables them to realise their life’s potentials.

Nurturing Souls, Hearts and Minds

When Pope Leo recently addressed global educators, he named three important areas in forming young people: cultivating the interior life, humanising technology, and educating for peace. At Lindisfarne, we try to incorporate these into our wellbeing programs, especially through chaplaincy initiatives.

In a distracting world of algorithms and information overload, young people need inner stillness to face daily challenges. Silence, prayer, and interior peace give them a foundation for everything else.

That's exactly what our Stage 2 students explored over the past two weeks at Sunshine Avenue Campus. Through "prayer spaces," they walked the labyrinth reflecting on St Augustine's words that "it is solved by walking", named their blessings at a gratitude prayer space, paused to entrust their worries to God at ‘Bubble Prayer’ station, and wrestled with life's big questions at the ‘Big Question Wall’ —inspired by Rilke's invitation to "live the questions" until we live our way into the answers.

We warmly invite parents, staff, and the wider Lindisfarne community to take these three themes to heart—cultivating interior life, humanising technology, and educating for peace—and to consider how we might live them out in our own homes and daily lives.

Together, let's continue forming young people of depth, wisdom, compassion, and hope.

I wish you all God’s richest blessings in every way. Please be assured of my prayers for all of you, and don’t forget to pray for me and mine.

With every blessing and good wishes,

Reverend Constantine
Chaplain

From moments of quiet reflection and the high energy of Hero Day to the splash of our K–2 Swimming Carnival and the curiosity of new scientific projects, our campus has been filled with heart and purpose this week.

Remembrance Day

On Remembrance Day, our School Community paused to honour and remember those who have served and sacrificed for our country.

A big thank you to our Year 4 student leaders, Arli and Alfie, who represented the Junior School with grace and respect at the Mahers Lane campus service. Laying a wreath on behalf of our students and staff, they carried out their duties with quiet maturity, demonstrating strong leadership and setting a wonderful example for our younger students who were watching the livestream back on the Junior School campus.

Adding to the sentiment of the week, we experienced a truly special surprise on our own school grounds. Earlier this year, Mrs Leary planted red poppy seeds in the Junior School garden. In a beautiful touch of nature's timing, those very poppies bloomed this week, just in time for Remembrance Day, providing our students with a vivid, living connection to this important day of reflection.

Splashes and Smiles at the K–2 Fun Swimming Carnival

Today, our Kindergarten, Year 1, and Year 2 students headed to Kingscliff for our annual K–2 Fun Swimming Carnival!

It was a day filled with pure fun, enthusiasm, and high energy. It was wonderful to see our school community coming together to support our young swimmers and create such an encouraging atmosphere. From brave first laps to energetic novelty events, our students displayed incredible courage, sportsmanship, and bright smiles throughout the day. Thank you to all the families who joined us and volunteered their time in the pool and on the BBQ to make the event so memorable. A special thank you also goes to our sponsor, Jo Croft at Mortgage Choice, for generously providing the food and refreshments for the day.

Big Reactions in Year 2 Science

It was wonderful to welcome our Mahers Lane Lab Technicians to the Junior School to demonstrate the exciting world of science for our Year 2 students. As part of their lesson on chemical mixtures, students loved seeing how different ingredients react—especially when the famous ‘Elephant Toothpaste’ experiment erupted in a giant, colourful burst of foam! A big thank you to the Science team for bringing this topic to life.

Round Square Hero Day Celebration

On Thursday, our campus was buzzing with excitement as we celebrated our Round Square Hero Day during a special extended lunchtime!

It was a fantastic opportunity to recognise and celebrate our students who have been earning Hero Tickets throughout the term for displaying positive character, leadership, and living out our Round Square Discoveries.

Highlights from our celebration included:

• Extended play time!

• Free ice blocks for all students!

• Big games and activities on the basketball court!

• A high-energy dance party with a DJ in the Music Garden!

Thank you to all our students and staff for showing such fantastic spirit and contributing to the vibrant culture and everyday heroics across our Junior School community!

As we enter these final weeks, activities are in full swing, with students completing assessments and rehearsing for our upcoming end of term concerts.

We are committed to keeping this positive momentum going right to the last day, encouraging everyone to stay focused, support one another, and finish the term with pride.

Thank you to our staff, families, and students for making our Junior School such a vibrant place to learn and grow.

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend ahead!

Head of Junior School

On Tuesday, Year 2 stepped beyond the classroom and onto Bundjalung Country for a wonderful morning of learning at Minjungbal Cultural Museum. As part of our HSIE unit, Learning from Country, students had the opportunity to explore a significant local place, listen to stories and learn from local knowledge holders.

Our visit began at the Bora Ring, where students learnt about its significance and discovered the story of Margaret Kay. Her determination to preserve and protect this important place, including petitioning for its protection and collecting many of the artefacts now housed in the Museum, helped students appreciate the importance of protecting places that hold so much history and meaning.

There was plenty to discover as Shannon, a local knowledge holder, shared insights into the deep knowledge Aboriginal Peoples hold of land, water and sky, and how this knowledge has supported people to live sustainably and care for Country. Students were fascinated to see different types of boomerangs and learn that they were designed for a range of purposes. Drawing on their knowledge of local animal names, they also explored the meanings behind place names and learnt about Dark Emu, whose presence in the night sky provides important knowledge about seasonal changes and the passing of the year.

It was a rich and memorable morning of listening, observing, questioning and making connections between what we have learnt in the classroom and the Country around us. We are so proud of the curiosity and respect Year 2 brought to the experience. We hope the stories, knowledge and discoveries shared throughout the morning will stay with them long after our unit has finished, deepening their appreciation of the Country we are fortunate to learn and live on.

It’s that time of year again! Sunshine Avenue is going Blue for Breakthroughs to raise money and support vital research into Type 1 Diabetes.

Here is how students can get involved on Monday, 16th November:

• Wear a Splash of Blue: Add a fun touch of blue to the day - think hairbands, socks, hats, or a small accessory! (Standard school uniform is still required).

• Gold Coin Donation & Jellybean Guessing Competition: Bring along a gold coin donation to participate! The student with the closest guess in each year level (Preschool through to Year 4) will win an ice block!

Let’s show our support and wear a splash of blue for breakthroughs this Monday!

Over the past few weeks, our students have been preparing to spend time with residents at our local aged care home. As part of our ongoing wellbeing program in the junior school, students regularly visit our elderly friends to share their time with community members who appreciate it most.

These visits give our students a firsthand look at the power of connection, whether it’s sharing a story with someone who needs a listening ear, bringing a smile to someone’s face, or learning from those who helped shape the world we live in today. It’s a meaningful way for our students to give back to a generation that has given so much, and they always look forward to discovering just how much these small acts of kindness strengthen our community.

Unfortunately, our latest visits had to be postponed while our friends at the care home were feeling unwell. So. . . Year 3 decided the next best thing to a visit was sending their warmest thoughts and well wishes. The students created beautiful 'get well soon' cards to help speed our friends along the road to recovery. We know these heartfelt gestures will bring plenty of Junior School sunshine to brighten their days

Material Marvels! Year 1 Explores 'Cheeky Changes' with Street Science

It was an action-packed Friday for Year 1 as our young learners stepped into the captivating world of physical and chemical transformations! Excitement and enthusiasm filled the room when special guest presenter Sarah from Street Science travelled from Brisbane to lead an interactive session titled "Cheeky Changes."

This dynamic visit linked directly to Year One’s Science Curriculum, focusing on materials and their properties. In class, students have been investigating how everyday materials behave and how their properties can be altered using a variety of methods, including pushing, pulling, heating, cooling, shaking, and mixing. Sarah’s visit brought these curriculum concepts to life, demonstrating first-hand how physical changes and reactions occur in real time.

Sarah captivated the children from the start with a series of high-energy demonstrations. The young scientists watched intently as a mysterious liquid altered its color with just a quick, vigorous shake, a great example of energy introducing change! The visual learning continued as Sarah used dry ice to fill a balloon, giving students a dramatic demonstration of thermal changes, state transitions, and gas expansion.

After observing the demonstrations, it was time for Year 1 to put Science into their own hands. To explore how physical materials change, each child crafted their own bouncy ball.

Using vibrant PVA sand, the children carefully poured layers of different colors into custom moulds. Next, they submerged their filled moulds into tepid water, allowing the moisture to bind the grains together. After ten minutes of eager anticipation, the children opened their moulds to reveal that their loose sand had completely transformed into a single, solid bouncy ball to take home.

The energy and curiosity throughout the session showed just how passionate Year One is about discovering how the world works. A huge thank you goes to Sarah from Street Science for providing such an enriching, curriculum-aligned experience. We clearly have plenty of budding scientists, and we look forward to welcoming Street Science back again in the future!

Year 1 Teacher

Over three Wednesday mornings, our current Preschool children and children who are new to Lindisfarne came together for a successful Transition to Kindergarten program. They spent time in each Kindergarten classroom, exploring the spaces and getting to know the teachers who will welcome them next year.

Having three visits gave the children time to become familiar with their new surroundings and feel more comfortable as they prepare for the move to formal schooling. It was lovely to see their confidence grow with each visit.

Thank you to our Kindergarten teachers for making the children feel so welcome. We look forward to seeing them back in the classrooms at the start of next year!

Term 4 Key Dates – Junior School

Please add the following important Term 4 dates to your calendar:

4 December - Big Bash Cricket (Year 3 and 4 students)

Gold Coast Rugby 7’s Gala Day

What a day of footy! Our Year 3 and 4 boys headed up to the Gold Coast Rugby 7s Gala Day recently, and to say they did us proud would be a huge understatement.

With a squad made up of a 50/50 split of returning players and energetic newcomers stepping onto a rugby pitch for the very first time, the stage was set for a day of big learning, massive efforts, and plenty of fun.

Playing Rugby 7s requires quick thinking and heaps of running, and our boys tackled the challenge head-on. Watching the team evolve across their four matches was nothing short of incredible.

While the footy on display improved dramatically every single game, the real highlight of the day was the attitude of the squad.

Our experienced boys were constant role models—coaching their new teammates on the run, shouting encouragement, and celebrating a great tackle just as hard as a try. The sportsmanship towards the opposition and respect for the referees was top-class all day long.

A massive thank you to all the parents and supporters who made the trip to cheer on the boys. The future of our junior rugby team looks incredibly bright!

FUN Swimming Carnival for K–2 Students!

Our 2026 FUN Swimming Carnival was again an incredible success! The bright summer weather provided the perfect backdrop for our Kindergarten to Year 2 students and their wonderful families. Smiles, laughter, and splashes filled the air as everyone embraced the beautiful conditions and made the most of a fantastic day.

The carnival kicked off with Year 2 students jumping straight into their races, showing off the swimming skills they’ve been building throughout the learn to swim program. From noodle races to kickboard challenges, the learn to swim pool was alive with excitement. The cheering from classmates and spectators echoed across the grounds, proving once again what a supportive and enthusiastic community we have. Every student gave their very best, and it was clear they were loving every moment under the clear blue skies!

A huge thank you goes to our incredible parent helpers, who showed amazing positivity and energy throughout the day. Whether they were assisting in the pool, organising students, cooking or serving sausages at the BBQ, or keeping spirits high on the sidelines, their presence played a huge role in making the day run smoothly. Their willingness to get involved and support our school community was truly appreciated.

We also extend our gratitude to Jo Croft from Mortgage Choice for once again sponsoring the BBQ lunch. The delicious sausage sandwiches were especially popular this year, offering the perfect treat for everyone enjoying a sunny day by the pool.

In the end, the 2026 FUN Swimming Carnival was a shining example of the strength and joy of our school community. Under the warm sun, the laughter, encouragement, and energy from our students and families made it a bright and memorable event. We’re already looking forward to doing it all again next year!

Thank you to everyone who helped make the day such a wonderful celebration of fun, sunshine, and community spirit!

Stage 3 Showcase - Voices of the Wild

Wednesday was a big day for our Year 5 and 6 students as they presented Voices of the Wild to audiences at both the matinee and evening performances. It was wonderful to see the students on stage, sharing what they had been working towards and enjoying the opportunity to perform for their families.

A great deal of preparation goes into an event like this, and I'd like to thank the staff involved for the time and effort they put into making it happen. Thank you also to our families for coming along and supporting the students.

Year 7 2027 Orientation Day

On Friday, we welcomed our incoming Year 7 students to Middle School for their 2027 Orientation Day.

For many students, moving into Year 7 brings a mix of excitement and uncertainty, particularly for those joining Lindisfarne for the first time. Friday was an opportunity to become more familiar with the campus, meet some of the people who will be part of their school day next year and begin getting to know their new classmates.

Orientation is just one part of the transition into Year 7, but an important one. We hope students left on Friday feeling more comfortable about what lies ahead and looking forward to the start of Year 7 in 2027.

Cathy Cox
Head of Middle School

Last week gave us the opportunity to pause and celebrate the Class of 2026 as they reached the end of their time at Lindisfarne. The Eucharist and Year 12 Formal marked the close of one chapter, but they also gave us a chance to recognise the people and experiences that have shaped this cohort along the way.

Our Principal often describes the Eucharist as “The Great Thanksgiving”, and Friday evening was a fitting expression of that. As the students carried their candles into the service, the image of light felt especially meaningful. Our motto, “Let your light shine”, is one we return to often, but on this occasion it belonged to the students themselves. Each candle spoke to the individual light they bring, and to the hope that they will carry the values and learning of their time here into the wider world.

The service also invited us to give thanks for those who have walked beside the students - their families, teachers and friends. A school journey is never travelled alone. There have been moments of confidence and achievement, as well as times when the way forward has felt less certain. What matters is how our young people have continued to learn, to find their feet and to make their contribution to the life of the School.

On Saturday evening, the Formal brought a different kind of celebration. It was a joy to see the students together, enjoying the occasion and the company of the people with whom they have shared so much. There was a sense of occasion, but also plenty of warmth and laughter. For many, it was a chance to take in how far they have come and to enjoy being together before the next part of their lives begins.

I feel a deep affection for this cohort. They have been a strong and generous group, and it has been a privilege to share in their journey. I hope they leave with a clear sense of what they have contributed to Lindisfarne, and with the confidence to meet what comes next. We will miss them, but we send them out with our gratitude, our prayers and every good wish.

There is one more opportunity to gather with the Class of 2026. At Speech Day on Wednesday 9 December, we look forward to welcoming them back to Lindisfarne one last time as we celebrate their achievements. It will be a fitting way to recognise all they have accomplished and to wish them well as they begin their next chapter.

To the families, staff and friends who helped make these occasions so memorable, thank you. The care surrounding our Year 12s was evident throughout the week. We are proud of the Class of 2026, and we look forward to seeing the light they carry into the world.

Our Silver Duke of Edinburgh group recently completed their Qualifying Expedition to the stunning NSW Snowy Mountains region. After a flight to Canberra, the group collected outdoor essentials such as gas bottles before making our way down the Monaro Highway to Island Bend (near Guthega). With the temperature hovering close to zero, we quickly slipped into alpine mode and rugged up for the night around the campfire. The next morning, the group divided into three teams to conquer some of the back country huts, including Horse Camp, Whites River and Schlink Hilton. Amidst stunning scenery and clear skies, the group managed to stay warm despite waking to frozen tent flies, enjoying the opportunity to disconnect from technology and connect with their peers. From the highpoint at Schlinks Pass (1804m), the group descended to Munyang (Guthega Power Station) before transferring to the beautiful village of Thredbo. Switching to our day packs, the group enjoyed the ascent to Eagles Nest via the Snowgums Chairlift, the start of a 12km round trek to the Kosciuszko summit (2228m). 

Enjoying the high country and isolated snow drifts, the students made it to the roof of Australia - huge smiles demonstrating pride in their achievement. From here, we rushed to make it back for the last chair of the day, before checking in to Thredbo YHA for our final night. After a well earned shower and meal, we reflected on the journey, with students recognising peers for their selfless efforts on the trail. 

To show our respect for Remembrance Day, we attended the community service in Cooma, before arriving in Canberra for our flight home. The students are to be commended for representing the school with pride, building their outdoor skills and resilience and demonstrating compassion and respect for each other in all circumstances. Following submission of their trip notes, many students will be able to finalise their Silver Award, with Gold just around the corner.

Futsal Australasian Champions of Champions

Our little pocket rockets spent 3 days in a row fighting out the Schools National Futsal Champions. The only way into this tournament was through the Regionals, then QLD States - then entry into this event. All our other Lindisfarne teams were knocked out, with our girls the only ones remaining, flying the flag.

A small but select group of other school qualifiers was in a single draw tournament, with every single game a dog fight to win. Our girls lost two, won one, on the very first day - but then never lost a game - up to and including the 2:1 grand final victory vs Wellers Hill. For a school without the facilities to run a proper Futsal program - yet - we are very proud of our little legends.

Congratulations to captain Eadie O’Sullivan and Maeve Hogan for landing on the selectors radar for ‘All Stars’ selection.

This week, I would like to celebrate the wonderful achievement of one of our talented Senior School music students, Sapphira Acedillo, who has recently been awarded a Distinction in her Associate in Music, Australia (AMusA) examination.

Administered by the Australian Music Examinations Board (AMEB), the AMusA is a highly regarded music diploma that recognises an advanced level of musical understanding, technical skill and performance ability.

Achieving a Distinction at this level is a truly remarkable accomplishment and a wonderful reflection of Sapphira 's exceptional musicianship, musical expression and dedication. Reaching this standard requires countless hours of practice, perseverance and a genuine passion for music, making this result all the more special.

A huge congratulations, Sapphira! We are incredibly proud of you and this fantastic achievement. It is wonderful to see your hard work and passion for music recognised at such a high level. We look forward to seeing where your musical journey takes you next!

This week, eight Lindisfarne Green Team students were lucky enough to attend the HICES Sustainability Expo in Sydney. We had an amazing time meeting inspiring people, exploring new sustainability ideas and discovering ways to make our school even more environmentally friendly.

On Day 1, we took part in three workshops: Swap in the City, Joy of Giving and Unwanted FC.

At Swap in the City, we learned about the environmental impacts of fast fashion and participated in a clothing swap. We each brought along two pre-loved items and exchanged them for something new to us. It was lots of fun trying on different styles while keeping clothes out of landfill.

Joy of Giving showed us how unwanted toys can make a huge difference to families and communities in need. We heard some touching stories about the people they support and learned that sustainability is also about helping others.

Our favourite workshop was Unwanted FC, where we discovered how old sports jerseys can be turned into new products instead of being thrown away. We even got to design and make our own jersey keychains!

On Day 2, we heard from fashion personality Zoe Iron, who shared tips on thrifting and making more sustainable clothing choices. We also toured the Greenhouse offices, met entrepreneurs running sustainable businesses, and listened to inspiring environmental speakers.

One highlight was sharing Lindisfarne's sustainability initiatives with other schools. It was great to see what other students are doing and exchange ideas about how we can make a difference. We now have lots of exciting ideas and can't wait to put some of them into action through our Green Team!
