Dear Members of our Community of Faith,
Welcome back to the start of Term 3. We hope all families had a wonderful three-week break.
Congratulations to the Clark and Firmager families on the arrival of Benjamin Clark and Noelle Firmager. Wishing them all the best for the future.
We ask that you may keep Miss Tania Maclean in your prayers after the loss of her father this week. The Blood and Price families are also in our prayers, after the loss of Anne Price over the holidays.
We welcome back Mr Kevin Tingle, who will be teaching in the 3/4 classroom on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Mr Paul Griffin will have them on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
We would like to thank Mr Andrew Flores for all the hard work and dedication to the school over the past four and a half years, we wish him all the best.
Welcome to Mrs Rebecca Scriven who is also joining our Administration team.
