Principal's Report

Here we are at the end of another year! Another year not without its challenges. School closure due to COVID and restrictions on parent access to classrooms have made communication more difficult . Our Seesaw app is being widely used across the school now and we will continue to use that, along with skoolbag and txt messages to keep open communication with families.

 

 Our IELC program was paused, meaning staff and students had to make very sudden changes and prepare for transition to new sites. Our IELC staff have mostly been relocated to other schools. 

Kath Thompson - Westport Primary School 

Lemonia Prunier- Gilles St Primary

Isabel Bayford- Bridgewater Primary 

Alissia King will be taking some leave. 

We thank and say farewell to

Ravinder Kaur
