Principal News
Welcome to our final newsletter for the year. Although we have done so much and achieved so much as a school community this year, the time has also flown by really quickly. For me personally the highlight of this year has been having everybody back on site for learning and special events. I encourage everyone to watch our latest virtual assembly where we will celebrate the conclusion of the 2022 year.
We have some staff who will be leaving Banyan Fields Primary School at the end of the year. I would like to thank these staff for their service and the impact they have had upon our students and school community. I would like to send my very best wishes to the following staff who will be moving on from BFPS:
Allison McKenzie (Inclusion Teacher)
Shanae French (Classroom Teacher)
Ruth Clements (Classroom Teacher)
Bella Sullivan Barry (Classroom Teacher)
Lynsey Breen (Classroom Teacher)
Andrea Rodriguez (Classroom Teacher)
Nicole Gleeson (Classroom Teacher)
Alissa Marney (Classroom Teacher)
In the new year, I am pleased to introduce some new staff who will be joining us. Please join me in welcoming:
Niomi Jamous (Classroom Teacher)
Rachel Haynes (Teacher Teacher)
Niyosha Morshedi (Education Support)
Jacinta Page (Education Support)
