From the Principal's Desk

Advent begins on December 3rd and concludes on December 24th.

A time for Christ, Change and Celebrations and

to Aim High

As 2023 concludes, there may be feelings of uncertainty as we anticipate the changes we know are to come. Change is an exciting, necessary and challenging part of life. At Resurrection School, we are committed to nurturing and supporting those who experience uncertainty or anxiety during times of change, including changing classes or schools.

It has been my privilege to work with members of our school community who will leave us at the end of the 2023 school year- staff, students and families. I would like to thank them for all that they have contributed to Resurrection School and wish them well in the future.

We farewell and thank staff who are leaving us: Pam Hunter (Wellbeing teacher) who is retiring (again), Matthew Gardiner (Year 2 teacher), Melissa Lynch (moving to St John's, Ferntree Gully as a Prep teacher) and Michelle Storer (moving to Firbank Grammar as a Year 5 teacher).

We would like to thank those people who have helped in many ways throughout the school, including: Fr Brian, the members of the School Advisory Council, under the leadership of Victoria Mancuso; the Fundraising Team led by Leanne De Zilva and Victoria Mancuso, who we thank for their initiatives; all of the wonderful Farm 2 Table helpers who provided some memorable opportunities for our community while sharing a meal; Jack Zhao, Rob Fox and Mark Sidoti for developing and maintaining the school. We are blessed to have people who are willing to help us build our school community; our students, staff and families benefit because of you. Thank you all so much.

At this time of year we experience mixed emotions- joy and anticipation as Christmas and holidays approach and sadness as we conclude another year and farewell those who are leaving.

We thank all families for entrusting us with their child/ren’s learning, faith enrichment and wellbeing this year.
