Dear Parents and Carers
I am a bit glum today!
Stage 3 are off on camp next week without me! I love a sport and rec style camp where water is involved! Can I thank the teachers who have stepped up and in to make sure this camp goes ahead swimmingly!
This week I joined with principals and CSO staff looking at how we can best serve the needs of our whole diocese, without losing our regional flavour and our school context. This really matters to us all as a community.
We are happy to announce the class teaching teams for 2023. It feels like a slow drip of information but with the processes this year changing I am pleased to announce:
Stage 3- Alanna Petersen, Renee Howland and Tash Hancock
Stage 2- Martin Dougherty, Rachael Imeson and Shaina Forde
Stage 1- April Ferguson, Rachelle Kelly, Kerrie O'Halloran and Julie Malley
Early Stage 1- Meghan Haines, Amy Imeson and Kerri O'Halloran
Other positions are in place and we will annouince another "batch"next week after we finalise paperwork which comes from the CSO.
Best wishes
Ann
