Darren Gynther - Head of Primary
Dear Primary Parents,
It is with sadness that I write to inform you
that I will be stepping down from the
position of Head of Primary at Mueller
College at the end of 2015. I will be
returning to the classroom where I can
resume my passion for teaching. It is a
decision I have been prayerfully
considering for a little while now.
To the parents, I would like to express my
appreciation for your support and
encouragement during my 3 years as
Head of Primary. I have enjoyed building
relationships with you as we partnered
together to nurture and guide your
children.
To the students, I am extremely grateful
for the privilege of being your Principal.
There are so many memories that I will
cherish. I really look forward to seeing you
all progress through your school years.
The Primary staff is an exceptional team
and it has been a pleasure to work with
them. The dedication and love they have
for your children is exceptional and I have
really appreciated their support over the
years.
A Bible verse that has always inspired
me, and would like to leave you with, is
found in Hebrews Chapter 12 where Paul
talks about running, with perseverance,
the race marked out for us and fixing our
eyes on Jesus the pioneer and perfector
of our faith. I believe we all have a race
to run. As we run to complete our race,
make Jesus your guide and your support.
Kind Regards,
Darren Gynther
It has been another busy term and we trust it has been positive and successful for
your child/ren. You may have caught up on the news that we are searching for a new
Head of Primary to commence in 2016. Darren’s passion for the classroom has drawn
him back to teaching. He will be missed in the role, however will be welcomed into the
classroom by the fortunate few who have him as a teacher. He is currently on Long
Service Leave and has written the message below.

Are you facing challenges that you’re struggling to make sense of? Are you experiencing life changes, transitions or
loss? Loss is something we all experience sometime in our lives. Loss isn’t just losing somebody close, but can
include loss of home, relationship, job, health, dreams and expectations to name a few. Counselling allows a safe
place to voice your thoughts, fears and feelings. Voicing them to another often enables you to see things from a
different perspective.
Friends and family members can be a great support to us, but are often unable to provide an objective point of view.
A counsellor won’t tell you what to do, but may help you consider choices, decisions and changes to enable you to
live your life more fully. Counselling doesn’t need to be long-term – in fact a single session may be all that’s needed.
Sometimes, though, more is needed over a period of weeks or months. We all differ, face different circumstances
and have differing needs, so respect and confidentiality are assured.
Mueller Community Church Counsellor, Jenny Billingham is available for parents, families, students and
staff at Mueller College. Phone 3897 2706 or 0427 876 396 for an appointment.
(Please leave a message if the phone is unattended) and your call will be returned at the earliest convenience).
