Principal Report

Nick Schneider

New appointment

We recently completed a thorough recruitment process to appoint an additional teacher for 2025.

I’m delighted to announce that Darcy Williams has been identified as the preferred candidate. As a graduate teacher, Darcy brings strong credentials and was selected from a highly competitive pool of applicants.

We hope Darcy will be available to meet the team during our planning day and whole school transition in December.

Improvement works

There have been some great improvements to our school grounds recently, thanks to the efforts of students, parents and staff. Amelia Smith and her gardening group have helped tidy and brighten up the garden areas, creating a more welcoming space for everyone.

With the help of funds raised through school community events, we’ve been able to install new basketball rings and update the line markings throughout the school. New goal posts for the school oval will also be installed today.

We would like to thank all families for their continued support, especially the parents who help organise fundraising events - your time and effort are much appreciated.
