Thanks Staff

I cannot praise the staff of Jells Park PS highly enough for all their work as professional teachers, but also all the time and effort they put in to presenting wonderful events and opportunities for your children. I know that parents greatly appreciate the staff and the work they do, and we see the joy and excitement in the students every day. That is why they love getting involved and delivering such great educational programs.

Thanks JPPC (Parents Committee)

Another huge thank you to the JPPC for all their work throughout the season, not only fundraising but running events for the school community. Fundraising efforts supported the new bubbler outside Level 6, Goal Post pads for the oval, repairs to the cricket nets and a large chunk of the money needed for the new playground to go at the back of the oval. They also supported the Art Show, ran the Movie Night and conducted the Color Fun Run.

Many thanks to Stephanie Triskiledis for her work as convenor for the past 2 years.

2020 Staff

We say farewell (for the moment) to Mr Steve Coughlan, who is taking a 12 month post at a school in Albury. He has been at Jells Park PS since 2001, so it has been a long stint. We wish him all the best and hope he enjoys the seachange. Miss Carneli is also moving on after just one year, also taking up a country job at Mansfield PS. Short but sweet, however we also wish her well. Mrs Serres and Ms Robinson are both having their babies and will have Parental Leave in 2020. Hoping all goes well with the births and see you both back at Jells in future years.

We welcome back Mrs Anderson, who will be doing 2 days in the Art Room and Mrs Kennedy (Level 5), and a big welcome to two new staff, Miss Powrie (Level 1) and Mr Lock (Level 5). Great to have you both on board.
