2026 School Council

This week the YWPS School Council met for 2026’s first meeting – seven chirpy parent members together with four experienced and dedicated staff members Jessica Robinson, Monica Paine, Sally Emery and Karen Rush.

Parent members are Geoff Dill (President) Alana Macwhirter (Vice President) Richard Docherty (Treasurer), Fleur Chew, Candice Botha, Sarah Reaich, and Nara Thompson.

As well as endorsing the school’s 2025 Annual Report, Council has set up four sub-committees for 2026: Events, Community, Buildings and Grounds and Finance.

2026 is Your Year to Get Involved! 

A great way to get more involved in school life is to join one of our lively sub-committees. ALL ARE WELCOME, and no special skills are needed.

Fill in a quick online form to register for one of these:

Events: help to plan, design and deliver our school’s events calendar – events are a beautiful way for the community to connect and an essential fundraiser for our kids. Come and see! 

Community: Have feedback or questions? Have a new idea for our school? This group will focus on how the school can better engage with parents in 2026. Start by joining this sub-committee!

Alana Macwhirter
School Council Vice President
