Thank you to leaving staff
Congratulation to Mrs Kaylene Duffin on her appointment as the Acting Principal at Helensburgh in 2020. She will be greatly missed by our whole community and especially those students she has supported with pastoral needs. Kaylene has been a great support to all staff, and a wonderful professional support to me as Principal. Kaylene brings her warm personality and great joy to the school and we will look forward to her return.
Very special thanks to Miss Anna Marks and Mr Kurt Phipps who will be leaving St Joseph's this year. We wish them every success for the future and thank them for their contribution to the learning of students in their classes.
Mr Nathan Sherry has accepted a twelve month position as a Middle Leader at Mittagong. This is a wonderful opportunity for Nathan and I thank him for not only his excellence as a classroom teacher but also in his additional role at the learning technologies coordinator.
Mrs Karyn Paull has been a School Support Officer (SSO) at St Joseph's this year and has worked closely with many students and their teachers. Karyn will return in 2020 as a casual SSO on occasion.
