Executive Principal's Message (12 June 2026)
WLC Day at Dimboola
Every year, a conscientious effort is made to bring the three campuses together for a day of Professional Development, Planning and Connection. The first day of Term 3 is a student-free day with students not required at school until Tuesday. The staff of Wimmera Lutheran College will come together for a combined WLC staff day on Monday 13 July. This year’s gathering will be especially significant as we host the event at our Dimboola Campus, following previous WLC Days held at our Nhill and Horsham campuses.
Rotating this important event between our campuses is a wonderful way to celebrate the unique strengths of each location while reinforcing our identity as one College across three communities. The day will bring together all full-time and part-time teaching and non-teaching staff for a range of professional learning and collaborative activities.
The program includes sessions on Leading Lutheran Identity and the continued development of our Mission, Vision and Values, helping to shape the future direction of our College. Staff will also participate in an engaging AI in Schools workshop, receive an anaphylaxis briefing, hear important College updates, and conclude the day with Worship and Holy Communion as we gather in faith and fellowship.
Events such as the WLC Day are an important investment in our people. They provide an opportunity to strengthen relationships across campuses, share ideas, deepen our Lutheran identity and ensure that, regardless of location, we continue working together to provide outstanding educational experiences for every student in our care. We look forward to an inspiring day as we begin an exciting term together.

“See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.”
Report Writing Day
On Friday last week, staff from across all three Wimmera Lutheran College campuses participated in a dedicated Report Writing Day. Scheduled within the College calendar, this day provides teachers with valuable time and space to prepare and finalise end-of-semester reports that communicate each student's progress and achievements to families.
Producing these reports requires many hours of careful reflection, assessment and writing, and setting aside a dedicated day helps staff complete this important work while balancing the ongoing demands of teaching and supporting students in the classroom.
Reports will be available for families in the last week of term.
Administering Medication Policy
To ensure the safe and accurate administration of medication at school, we ask all families to follow our medication procedures (outlined in the Administering Medication Policy). Any medication that is required to be administered during the school day must:
- be delivered to the College by a parent or guardian
- include the medication container
- include all relevant supporting documentation.
Upon delivery, parents will be required to complete and sign a Medication Administration Form, and both the parent and a member of College staff will sign the medication register to confirm the handover.
Once medication is received, College staff will maintain a detailed record of each dose administered by updating the remaining tablet count after every administration and completing daily reconciliation checks.
At the end of each week, the recorded balance will be verified against the physical quantity of medication on hand to ensure accuracy and maintain the highest standards of safety and accountability.
If you have any questions regarding this policy, please contact the administration of your campus, or the Executive Principal.
Mr Jason Przibilla, Executive Principal
