FAREWELLS

After an incredible 26 years of service as a School Support Officer and Front Office Administration Officer, we bid a heartfelt farewell to Lee Clements as she begins her well-earned retirement. Lee officially retires on Friday 13 February.

Lee has been the calm, welcoming face in the front office for the past 17 years, greeting everyone with warmth and kindness. Her gentle and calm manner has offered reassurance to students, families, and staff alike. Lee’s connections stretch across multiple generations - her care for the children has extended naturally to brothers, sisters, parents, and even grandparents from our community. Her presence in the front office has truly been a fixture in so many lives, a continuity that has helped shape our school’s identity.

The dedication Lee has poured into her role, often going above and beyond, has not gone unnoticed. She has tirelessly supported our school in every way, working diligently to make sure things run smoothly and that every member of our community feels valued. Her attention to detail, reliability, and commitment have set a shining example for those around her.

As Lee retires, we want to thank her sincerely for everything she has given to Hackham East Primary over the years. We wish her the very best in this next chapter, enjoying well-deserved time with her family and beloved grandson. May your retirement bring you joy, relaxation, and all the happiness you deserve.

Lee’s last work day is Friday 13 February, she would love it if you had a chance to pop in and wish her farewell!

With deep appreciation and warmest wishes,

Hackham East Primary School

Thank you and Farewell to Mrs Sue Dunn

After beginning her teaching journey in Canberra in 1994, Sue has enjoyed an extensive and wonderful career across many schools and roles, including Kidman Park, Brighton, Hawthorndene, Lockleys North, and Hallett Cove Primary School. Her dedication has seen her contribute as a classroom teacher, languages teacher, a leader in ICT, and even in Principal roles.

Since joining Hackham East Primary School in 2016, Sue has made an incredible impact as a classroom teacher, Aboriginal Education Teacher, and with intervention programs supporting  many students in Literacy and Numeracy. Her gentle, caring, and diligent approach has benefited countless children, especially our First Nations learners and their families.

Sue, you are an inspiration to our profession, showing us the power of teaching with passion and care. We wholeheartedly wish you a wonderful and fulfilling retirement as you begin your next chapter and many travel opportunities.

Congratulations and thank you, Sue for your contributions to our school community!
