Narrandera High School

Issue 20 Week 10 Term 4 Tuesday 16th December 2019

It is difficult to believe that our 2019 school year has almost come to an end. We cele-

brated student achievement and the success of 2019 at our Presentation Night last

week. Thank you to all the staff, students and families that contributed to the evening

being a wonderful and fitting conclusion to 2019.

The end of a school year always brings changes in staffing. This year we will farewell

Kyle Bryant and Hannah Germantse while Beth Harrison, Toni Moore and Emma Lagan

will be taking periods of leave in 2020. We will also farewell SAS staff Megan Bryant

and Matilda Warren-Porteous. In their absence and due to the additional staffing allo-

cation that comes with an increase in student numbers, the following staff will be join-

ing us in 2020 or moving into new roles.
