👋 Staffing Update – Welcome to Our New Team Members!

With the start of a new term, we’re excited to welcome some new faces to the SKiPPS staff team.

 

🧪 Cecilie Corless has stepped into the role of Science Specialist, replacing Tom McKenzie. Cecilie is already well-known to many at SKiPPS, having worked as a CRT here for several years. We’re thrilled to have her officially join the staff and bring her passion for science to our students each week.

 

🎭 We’re also delighted to announce the appointment of Melanie Atma Gertler as our new Performing Arts teacher. Melanie brings with her a wealth of experience from a range of schools across Melbourne and a strong background in both music and performing arts education. We’re looking forward to the energy and creativity she’ll bring as we work towards our Term 4 Celebration of the Arts.

 

🧑‍🏫 Finally, we welcome Chris Ingram to our Education Support (ES) team. Chris completed a placement with us last term and made a wonderful impression—we’re very pleased to have her back on board in her new role as a classroom integration aide.

Please join us in giving Cecilie, Melanie and Chris a warm SKiPPS welcome!


🚪 Automated School Gates – Important Update

You may have noticed a change to our main school gates this week. Over the holidays, the gates were automated and are now operating on a scheduled timer.

 

This upgrade is part of our ongoing commitment to improving the safety and security of our school. The gates will remain closed during the school day and at other key times to help ensure our site remains secure for students, staff, and families.

 

Families are asked to use the pedestrian gates located at the front, side, or rear of the school.  As the gates are automated,please remind your children to not touch, stand on or play near the new front gates.  

 

Please also remember that parents should not drive onto the school grounds at any time, even if the gates happen to be open.  

 

Thank you for supporting us in keeping SKiPPS safe for everyone.
