This Week's Notes

 Thank You 

Thank you Frau Barber

This week, we say thank you and good bye to one of our long serving teachers, Frau Barber. Just like Ms Purnell, it is also very sad to see Frau Barber leave Cavendish Primary School this year. Frau has been at our school for over thirty years! She has not only built and promoted music at the school from scratch but she has been organising and implementing a wide range of music concerts including many Eisteddfods in Hamilton. We are very grateful for all she has given to Cavendish community and to rural education over the years.  

We know Frau is off to Queensland soon. We wish her the very best in all her future endeavours as I know she will still be involved in musical performances and teaching in Hamilton. Alles Gute Frau Barber! 

Rachel Huf 

As we say our goodbyes to Frau Barber, we welcome back Mrs Huf who is the successful applicant as Frau's replacement for Music on Tuesdays. Mrs. Huf has worked as a music teacher not too long ago at Cavendish before she went on to have a baby. Mrs Huf will start teaching from next Tuesday and cannot wait to meet the students and families at Cavendish again. 

My Movements - Next Tuesday and Thursday

On Tuesday, from 1pm, I will be at Dunkeld working with other principals from Casterton, Dunkeld, Merino and Coleraine regarding the completion of the mid-year review for the school's Annual Implementation Plan (AIP). On Thursday20th June, I will be attending Small Schools' Conference at Ballarat. I am very excited about this as this is my first small schools conference experience as I joined the committee.
