Staff Movements 2025

We have several staff leaving us at the end of the year and some new staff starting in 2025. At this stage, we are fully staffed for Kindergarten to Year 12 2025 which is a significant blessing from God given the current teaching shortage that is being felt around the nation. We are incredibly grateful for this. Below is the list of staff that are leaving us this year, next newsletter I will introduce the new staff that will be joining us next year. There will be opportunities at the various presentation events to farewell these staff more formally as a community.

Year 12 Formal

The Year 12 formal was held on Thursday evening at the Magpies Nest and was a wonderful celebration of our Year 12 cohort. They all dressed up to the nines and danced the night away! We received some incredibly positive feedback from Magpies Nest about the conduct of our young people and the organisation of the event. A huge thank you to all involved.
