We have around 450 very happy children here at school today. Thank you for sharing them with us again. We have had a lovely welcome back assembly introducing our new staff and welcoming them and our new students.
As Mrs Baden-Powell has taken up a principal position at another school, we are looking to do the very difficult job of replacing her. Meanwhile in the Associate Principal position we have Mrs Harrison here from Monday to Wednesdays and Ms Byrne on Thursday and Friday. Mrs Harrison has been working here several times – we love having her and the children know her. We will let you all know as soon as our new Associate Principal is announced. Mr Osboldstone will be our Indonesian teacher this year on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and then will be working with Mrs Chambers in Year 3. (Mrs Chambers Mon, Tues, Wed Mr Osboldstone Thursday, Friday.). Mrs Coulson (Ibu Cristy) is now teaching Year 6. We have 2 student teachers here, Mr Clarke in Year 3 with Mr Wheatley, and Mr Black in Year 5 with Ms Barnes. Mrs Wood is in the Library this term while Mrs Puglia is working at a neighbouring school.
Teachers will be organising information meetings with you in the first 3 weeks to introduce themselves and let you know about the programs in the class. Information will be sent home if you are unable to attend.
This school is very conscious of maintaining our reputation as a leading Wastewise school and so your children will be bringing their stationery boxes home so that you can recycle them.
I hope you hear about lots of the fun things your child has done today.
