As this will be the last full-sized ‘Lion’ for  \nthe year I wish all members of the school community a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. It is a special time for families and valued friends, and I trust that you will enjoy the festive season with all you hold dear.  \nI extend my deep gratitude to my Assistant Principals – Andrew Corr, Tegan Knuckey, Hamish Anderson and Julien Escurat-Sebastian Goder (Business Manager), Paul Sutton (Facilities Manager), Bernadette Clayton (Director of Community Engagement), Lara Messom (Executive Assistant to the Principal), my exceptional Leadership Team, teaching staff, and educational support staff, and our students and their families for their contributions to the school over the course of what has been  \nanother highly successful, proud and celebratory year for our Platinum Jubilee at Balwyn High School. I would also like to especially thank Lazaros Zikou and the School Council, Parents and Friends of Music, and the Chaplaincy Committee for their support, dedication and work throughout 2024.  \nOur Platinum Jubilee celebrations have provided a marvellous opportunity to reflect and acknowledge the significant success and influence our school has had in the government school system over seven decades. This was never better affirmed than when NEV Regional Director, Karen Money, presented her reflections about our place in public education at our Gala Concert in September.  \nCongratulations to all of our school community. Our work matters! All the very best for a terrific summer holiday break!  \nPresentation Night 2024  \nAfter months of planning and rehearsals Presentation Night will take place next Wednesday night when we will celebrate our year of ‘Dedication, Loyalty, Legacy’ together in a sell-out event at Hamer Hall.  \nACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF COUNTRY  \nBalwyn High School acknowledges the Wurundjeri peoples of the Kulin Nation as the Traditional Owners and Custodians of the land we work, learn and play on and pays respect to their cultures and Elders, past, present and emerging.  \n1  \nPRINCIPAL’S PERSPECTIVE  \nEDITION 21 | 6  \nSAVE THE DATE-  \n70th Anniversary Celebrations  \nWednesday 11 December  \nPresentation Night  \nHamer Hall  \nD E D I C A T I O N I I I L O Y A L T Y I I I L E G A C Y  \nCongratulations in advance to all award winners and to the Year 12 Student Leaders and Middle School Captains who will be announced on the evening.
