Peter Carnley Anglican Community School recently came together to celebrate Founders’ Day, a cherished tradition that honours the School’s history and values. The day was filled with joy, reflection, and a strong sense of belonging.
The celebrations began with the Founders’ Day Service in the Keith Lindbeck Centre, presided over by The Right Reverend David Bassett. The School was honoured to welcome Patron The Most Reverend Dr Peter Carnley AC, along with Mr Philip Goldsworthy, Chair of School Council, and Mayor Peter Feasey. The service included presentations to the 2026 Scholarship winners and outstanding performances by the Senior Voyager Band, Peter Carnley Children’s Choir, and Senior Choir, showcasing the talent and spirit within the School.
Parents and friends attended the service, reinforcing the strong connections within the broader School community. Throughout the day, students participated in a variety of activities celebrating leadership, collaboration, and community. Senior students partnered with Junior students in traditional buddy activities, fostering support and connection across year levels.
The Junior School concluded the day with a Colour Run, raising over $10,000 for new playground equipment at All Saints School in Samoa, an Anglican school supported by PCACS through service-learning initiatives. Meanwhile, Senior School students competed enthusiastically in Interhouse Activities, following a week-long celebration of House Patrons during Spirit Week.
Founders’ Day 2025 was a memorable occasion that united the entire School community, highlighting the joy of shared traditions, and the strength of community.
