SPA Update
World Teachers' Day
During our World Teachers' Day morning tea, Andy Langridge and Andrew Mott on behalf of SPA, took the opportunity to thank our outgoing Principal Katrina Brennan for her service to the school and welcome the incoming Principal, Pauline Cutajar.
Many of the current SPA members have been involved with the Association since early 2021 where we have felt incredibly welcomed and supported by Katrina and her executive team to implement new ideas and initiatives. We wish her well on her new position.
SPA already have a great relationship with Pauline, and we are looking forward to continuing to work closely with her and the school in 2024.
We also took the opportunity to give personal thanks to our amazing school staff to celebrate World Teachers' Day. We hope our gifts gave you some much-deserved self-care and pampering. Thank you for all that you do for our school and students.
