Welcome back and Happy New Year

Welcome to all our school families,

students and staff members. We look

forward to an interesting, and busy 2020.

Welcome to our new staff members – Claire McKenna in Prep,

Karin Diep and Natasha Huysmans in Grade 2, Sophie Salvitti

in Grade 4, Scott Wegener and Rebecca Edmands in Grade

5, Claire Liston in Grade 6 and Aram Lee who is teaching

Japanese. We also welcome back Beth Leach who is teaching

Performing Arts.

Building Works

Over the Christmas break period we had lots of work done to

improve our school. Thank you to Duncan White for organising

the installation of our new Bike Shelter area. We also added

two extra classroom spaces, one in the Middle School for 3A

and one in the Junior School for 1D as well as the fitting out of

the new Grade 6 space at the back of the school.

School Council Elections - 2020

Each year we elect half of the School Council. There are 3

parent and 2 co-opted positions available this year. If we

have more nominations than the number of positions available,

there will be a vote held. If you are interested, or would like

to hear more about School Council, please come to the School

office to collect a form, from next week. Forms received are

displayed on the windows of the office area. The last date for

nominations to be received is Thursday, 27th February 2020.

Best wishes

House News

We are excited to announce that this year Kerrimuir is launching a new House Structure!

Introducing…

Our new Houses have been named after local street names, and are linked with a native

Australian animal.

House Launch Day Friday 7th February 9:00am – 11:30am

Students will find out their new houses on our House Launch Day next Friday 7th February.

There will be fun activities in your new houses and a few special surprises on the day!

There is no assembly on this day.

Part of our new House Structure involves House Meetings. House Meetings will replace

Assemblies on the first Friday of every month, and students will get together in their houses

to participate in a range of activities. There is NO Assembly on the first Friday of every

month.
