2021 Staff Changes
It is not only families who will be leaving our school but several staff who have had an extremely long association with Beaumaris North Primary School.
Farewell...
I would like to wish the following staff members the best of luck as they embark on new beginnings in 2022.
Deb O'Brien
We are sad to say goodbye to Deb O'Brien who has worked at BNPS for 30+ years. Deb's knowledge in Physical Education has been an amazing asset to our PE department. Deb spent tireless years developing the P.E program which our students love. Our students have been very lucky to have had such a talented, fun & enthusiastic teacher.
Deb has trained some superstars including Glen Archer (AFL Player) & Geoff Ogilvy (Pro Golfer) and there may be more to come.
Thank you Deb for your commitment, laughter/hilarity , professionalism and your cone colour coding.
Kirsty Hall & Dani Jones will miss you greatly, as will all the BNPS students and staff.
Dan Farmer has big shoes/runners to fill!
We look forward to hearing about your 2022 adventures in the camper van.
