Hollows
On behalf of our Hollows staff, I would like to welcome back students and families for the 2023 school year.
This year we have welcomed a number of staff to the Hollows staff team.
It’s an honour to welcome two new staff to the Hollows family in 2023:
- Ms Simone Genovese, Hollows 2 Mentor Teacher and our new French Teacher
- Ms Kiara Bloomfield, Health/Physical Education and Food Studies Teacher.
We have also welcomed Ms Kim Winton and Mr Brian Lam who have moved to Hollows from Melba House this year.
Already several events have taken place in what has been a busy Term 1. We have hit the ground running, with Hollows House winning the House Swimming and we are looking forward to the House Athletics Carnival on the final day of this Term.
It has also been fantastic seeing so many Hollows students getting involved in the House Performing Arts Competition putting on a show with their adaptation of "Frozen". Well done to Ms Reber and the Hollows Performing Arts Student Leaders; Gray B, Annabeth C, Hannah S and Kirra W for their hard work!
We wish our Hollows community a safe and enjoyable Term 1 break and look forward to welcoming Hollows students back for an exciting Term 2!
