Staff News
It is with sadness that we farewell Mrs Wendy Rheinberger. Wendy and her family are moving to Tasmania in the new year. Wendy has been a wonderful staff member for the past ten years. What stands out for me is Wendy’s faith and her kindness. I see the Holy Spirit working in Wendy as she gives of herself every single day and always looks out for the wellbeing of others. She doesn’t just turn up to work she puts her heart and soul into everything she does. We will miss you Wendy but wish you God’s blessing for your exciting move to Tasmania.
Mrs Rheinberger will email photos from our assembly to families of award winners later this week.
Welcome back!
Mrs Sarah-Jane Canham will be returning to our community to replace Wendy as our Religious Education Coordinator, our Inclusion Support teacher and a release from face to face teacher. I am sure many of you remember Sarah-Jane and will be excited to see her back in our community.
Year 6 Farewell Dinner
Our Year 6 students, families and staff enjoyed a special Year 6 Graduation Dinner last night. I wish each our Year 6 students; happiness, laughter, joy and good friends. I hope you relish the challenges of High School and grow to be the best version of yourself!
Have a happy and safe week
Pauline Long
Principal
