Hayley Frazer - Congratulations
Congratulations to Hayley Frazer, one of our alumni, who was awarded the 2025 Inspiring South Australian Women's Award – Emerging Leader at Government House last month. We are very proud of Hayley's continued achievements!
Staffing Update
It is a pleasure to congratulate Mrs Wachtel as she plans to take some parenting leave from the end of this term for the remainder of the year. The upcoming birth of her baby will be an exciting time for her family, and we wish them all the best for this new chapter!
We are pleased to announce that Miss Brianna Stanley has been appointed to teach Foundation with Mrs Hughes for Term 2 onwards, following a comprehensive recruitment process with a number of very strong applicants, many of whom held international teaching experience. Miss Stanley has most recently been teaching at Tyndale Christian School where she has had experience on a range of classes, including their small group classes for students with additional learning needs, as well as Foundation.
