12th Aug 2025

Guyra Central School last week honoured Public Education Week, embracing this year’s theme, “Ignite Your Potential.” We took this opportunity to highlight the achievements of students, teachers, and the entire school community at our celebration on Thursday 8 August 2025.
This year, the recipients of the Guyra Central School Public Education Awards were:
Lillianna Eddy: Recognised for her dedication and thorough approach to her senior studies.
Aoife Collins: Honoured for her leadership skills and supportive nature.
Hamish Brown: Acknowledged for his organisational abilities and leadership.
Each year, we celebrate a community member for their contributions to Guyra Central School. This year, Mr. Richard Post received our community award for his incredible support, positive attitude, and dedication as part of our P&C.
Additionally, Mrs. Natasha Roberts was recognised for her professional support across Guyra Central School in various areas.
In a heartfelt gesture following Australia Primary Principals Day in Week 2, Lillianna Eddy created a video featuring many of our students and staff to honour Relieving Principal Mr Lloyd. The video included touching messages of gratitude for his commitment to our staff, students, and the community.
To wrap up our Education Week Celebrations, Guyra Central School hosted our annual event, the Guyra Gift. This tradition started in 1996, initiated by the Year 11 Sport and Recreation class, featuring a 100m handicapped race involving students from K-12, community members, and staff. This year’s winners of the Guyra Gift were:
First Place: Kailyn Dittman and Ron Llewellyn, Second Place: Rose Kliendienst, Third Place: Airlie Vidler
Guyra Central School is dedicated to helping every child achieve their full potential, and we would like to extend our gratitude to our students, staff, and community members for their unwavering support of our wonderful school.
