Dear Parents and Carers,

Farewell

At the end of the year, we farewell three of our wonderful teachers – Helen Bramanathan, Pam Sixsmith and Madeleine Reid. Helen and Pam are retiring and Madeleine and her family are moving back to Brisbane. I thank all of them for the contribution they have made to our students and the wider community. They will certainly be missed.

Kinder 2022 Orientation  

This Friday morning, we welcome our Kinder class for 2022. At present we have 25 students enrolled for Kinder next year; I look forward to meeting our new families. Mrs Samantha Mance will be the Kinder teacher for next year, along with Mrs Kristy Poole who will teach every Friday while Samantha is fulfilling her Religious Education Coordinator role.
