Executive Principal's Message (28 November, 2025)
Wimmera Lutheran College Update
Strategic Plan Update
The Executive Leadership Team met with Phil McCredden this week to analyse and discuss the data that was collated through the Shared Futures Survey and the Focus Group discussions. This was an engaging session with plenty of conversation and commentary around the feedback WLC received. I would like to take this opportunity to personally thank those stakeholders that took the time to respond in such a thoughtful and insightful manner. In amidst the affirming responses and comments, there was also constructive feedback which will be used to help develop the strategic direction of Wimmera Lutheran College in the years to come. The Executive Team will meet with Phil early next year to finalise the Signposts and key objectives of the Strategic Plan.
Work continues in other key areas of the amalgamation with a focus on the following key areas including:
- Uniform
- Mission, Vision and Values statements
- Website development
- Campus and Bus signage
- Corporate Stationery items (Letterheads, powerpoint slides, business cards etc)
WLC Board Update
The WLC Board met for the final time this year on Wednesday night. There were a number of key agenda items discussed, including the approval of the 2026 Budget. I would like to acknowledge the efforts of the Board and thank them for their support of WLC this year. In a short period of time, the new Board has formed a strong connection and is being led with purpose and direction by chair Mark Hughes and the other Board members including:
- Ryan Fowler
- Hilton Hausler
- Pastor Hans Peethala
- Michelle Pipkorn
- Teagan Rudoloph
- Andrew Wundke
WLC is fortunate to have such a passionate and skilled collection of Board members with experience in Governance who will continue to lead WLC in 2026.
Finishing the Year Strong
As we enter the final stretch of the school year, it’s natural to feel tired, busy, or stretched. Yet this season is also filled with opportunity, an opportunity to reflect, refocus, and finish well. Whether you are a student working hard to complete tasks, a teacher giving your all to provide meaningful learning, or a parent supporting your child through these last weeks, your efforts matter. Every act of perseverance contributes to a strong and positive ending.
The Bible reminds us in Galatians 6:9:
“Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”
These words encourage us to keep going, to stay committed, stay hopeful, and trust that the work we put in now will bear fruit. Finishing strong isn’t about perfection. It’s about showing up with purpose. It’s about encouraging one another, celebrating progress, and giving our best with the time we have left. Together, as a united school community, we can close the year with gratitude, energy, and pride.
Let’s take these final weeks as an opportunity to shine, support one another, and finish the year strong, knowing that God walks with us every step of the way.
Mr Jason Przibilla, Executive Principal
