A note from Ms McIntosh

Dear families and friends

PRINCIPAL SELECTION PROCESS

As I mentioned in the week 4 newsletter, on my departure next week, an Acting Principal will be appointed until the end of 2019. I am pleased to say that the process of selecting my replacement is now underway through the Regional Office. Although it is a short time frame, the process will be complete by next week and an Acting Principal will be announced as soon as possible. Although it has been somewhat frustrating for the community not to have this information before now, this process will ensure  that the best appointment can be made. I will have the opportunity to hand over effectively to my replacement and I trust that the Region will make an excellent selection and leave the school in very good hands. The priority still remains the same, to maintain consistency and continuation of all school programs and culture.  At the next School Council meeting, our Senior Education Improvement Leader, Silvana Sena, will brief the school council on the next steps in the formal process of selection for the substantive Principal position. This process can take many weeks and is likely to occur during term 4. If this is the case, the new contracted Principal will, most likely, commence in 2020 to start the new year. We will be sure to let you know any information as soon as it is available to us.
