Wimmera Lutheran College united in vision

Lutheran schools at Horsham, Dimboola and Nhill are now operating as Wimmera Lutheran College, following the announcement last year by Holy Trinity Lutheran College, St Peter’s Lutheran School and Nhill Lutheran School that they would amalgamate.

Wimmera Lutheran College has announced its executive leadership team ahead of the school year, with former acting college principal Jason Przibilla the executive principal, Kate Carter the deputy principal/head of secondary school, Adam Borgas Horsham campus head of school, Damon Prenzler principal Nhill campus, Millie Dent Dimboola campus head, and Jacqui North assistant to heads of schools: curriculum and pedagogy. 

Mr Przibilla said a college committee had been formed to ensure a smooth start, with members including himself, Ms Dent, Mr Prenzler, college business manager Neil Leek, members from each school’s board, and non-executive director Mark Hughes.

“This dedicated team has guided the amalgamation process, bringing the three schools together under a unified leadership structure,” he said.

The committee’s role includes supporting the newly appointed executive principal in his role, developing the college’s future vision, and ensuring the three schools smoothly transition into the new college.

“The college committee formation has supported the amalgamation process and reinforced the college’s professional commitment to providing greater opportunities for Wimmera students through enhanced resource sharing and streamlined administration processes, which guarantee the college remains focused on continuous improvements to the innovative teaching and learning programs,” Mr Przibilla said.

“Lutheran education has been an integral part of Wimmera communities for over a century and the college will proudly continue this legacy. 

“The college is committed to maintaining the unique identity of each school within the new structure, while offering students and staff exciting leadership and development opportunities.”

Mr Przibilla said there would not be any changes to uniforms for two years, allowing a smooth transition from existing uniforms, and the time to properly develop an inclusive logo and colours that best represent the new college. 

“A working group will soon be formed with representatives from all three communities, with the aim of having the new uniform design completed by mid-year,” he said.

“We are hopeful for those families who wish to purchase items from the beginning of 2026 that stock will be available, although it will not become mandatory until January 2027.”

Mr Przibilla said this year’s school fees for each campus were decided and communicated to families last year, with fees for coming years to be recommended to the college board by each campus’s advisory committee.
