Farewell Mr Bainbridge

Thankyou

As I prepare to take the next step in my career, I do so with a deep sense of gratitude and reflection.

It has been an absolute privilege to work at Parkdale PS in many roles over a number of years. Across my time here, I have had the opportunity to work alongside an extraordinary group of students, staff, and families who make this place so special.

To our students both past and present — thank you for your energy, curiosity, and resilience. You are the heart of this school, and it has been a joy to watch you grow, achieve, and support one another. I am incredibly proud of each of you and all that you continue to accomplish. Thanks for always saying hello when I’ve chatted to you and I wish you all the best in the future.

To our dedicated staff — thank you for your professionalism, passion, and unwavering commitment to education. It has been an honour to work with such talented and caring individuals who go above and beyond every day to support our students and each other. I wish you every success in the future.

To our wider community — thank you for your partnership, trust, and support. Strong schools are built on strong relationships, and I am grateful to have been part of such a connected and supportive community.

While I am excited to begin a new chapter, I will always carry with me the experiences, relationships, and memories from my time here. Parkdale PS will always hold a special place in my heart.

Thank you all for your support, kindness, and shared commitment to making Parkdale PS such a wonderful place to learn and grow.
