A warm welcome to everyone for the 2019 school year!

It was lovely to catch up with our returning students and wonderful to

meet our new children and their families. I hope you are settling in well

to our school community.

Everyone has settled well into their new classes and we are all looking

forward to another busy and successful year.

I would like to welcome Miss Sam Hicks to our staff- Sam is from

Sydney and is with us for the year under the Rural Experience program-

she has certainly seen some “rural” weather since her arrival!

Ms Diane Parker and Mrs Simone Collins are returning to our staff in a

part time role and we extend a warm welcome to them as well.

Below is a breakdown of the classes for the year and the roles of each

staff member. Please remember that I have an “open door” policy and I

invite you, and encourage you, to come in and see me at any time if you

have query or a problem- we can only fix things if we share information!

Educating your child is a shared responsibility!

I hope you have a good week!
