HSIE &
Languages Faculty
It has been a very busy and productive year in the HSIE and Language Faculty. As a faculty that focuses on the passing of time, it never ceases to amaze how quickly the school year begins and ends. The day to day lessons, excursions and learning experiences do not happen without the dedication of an amazing faculty of teachers. I would like to thank Mr David Ardley, Miss Katey Ellis, Mr Mitchell Herring, Mrs Julia Kostalas, Mrs Danielle Le Page, Mrs Chloe Mitchell, Mr Judd Newton (who left us for the country life in Victoria in Term 1), Mrs Marnie Sinclair, Mrs Raegan Travica and Mrs Lisa Wright for their unwavering commitment to the students of Henry Kendall High School.

Mrs Sinclair will be moving up the road to Gosford High School in 2024 and we wish her all the very best.
For the last three years, Mrs Danielle Le Page has been an instrumental part of our HSIE team. Mrs Le Page has brought expertise and a commitment to all students in her care. We wish her all the very best and hope to see you in the new year.
