Human Ennoblement

At PWS/PSC we are very fortunate to have had stable and wise governance in place for many, many years. The way the school is governed is set out in the School's constitution. The way that it then manifests is via good people doing good work on a voluntary basis. Dr Peter Finlay is our Chair. He has been a strong supporter of the school for many years and we are grateful for his ongoing service. 

Currently we have council members who are parents from Bibra Lake and Parkerville campuses, a few staff members, a Community member and the College of Teachers is also represented. You are urged to tap someone or yourself on the shoulder and ensure our school's governance remains strong. 

Every knowledge pursued merely for the enrichment of personal learning and the accumulation of personal treasure, leads you away from the path; but all knowledge pursued for growth to ripeness within the process of human ennoblement and cosmic development, brings you a step forward.

Annual General Meeting - 24th June 2025

Your Invitation to Nominate for the School Council

The Governing body of the school will hold an AGM on the 24th June 2025 commencing 6.00pm in Seekers Place. Further information about how to nominate for the council, and the agenda for the night is below.  

The opportunity to serve on the governing body provides you with a unique insight into the school and a chance to oversee the management, the strategic direction, the finances and to be involved in opportunity/risk analysis.  

Skills and attributes that are useful include experience in education, construction, legal, marketing, environmental and finances. As well as social and emotional intelligence, an ability to discern how best to play your role to maximise your support for the school as a Council member is important. People of goodwill, aligned with the ethos of the school, no matter their background and experience can make an excellent contribution. If you or someone you know feels they wish to contribute in this way, please submit a nomination. 

Even if you’re not nominating for Council membership, parents and staff are invited and encouraged to attend the AGM. We hope to see you there.

National Reconciliation Week

It is National Reconciliation Week. This is a chance to both celebrate the strengths and deep wisdom of Aboriginal people and culture and also reflect on how our own personal family journey is going towards a human connection and dialogue with Aboriginal people and culture. It can feel like a challenge to grow one's knowledge and perspectives to the point of love and brother/sister hood. That is the central task towards reconciling. The alternative is a closed off stance - let us all not be that people.

There appears to be many people affected by colds, flu and COVID lately. Take care of yourselves, your loved ones and take time for recovery to good health. That's so important. 

With much gratitude

Rich treasures planted long ago
Within my soul, so dark and deep,
Are wakened by my will from sleep.

They stream into the world; they grow.
They bear star-substances of greatest worth,
Through loving deeds of mine, uniting heaven and earth.

by Michael Hedley Burton / verse no. 34
