Dear Parents,

It is not a Principal’s message week, but as promised, it is with pleasure that I announce the staffing for 2022 as part of the newsletter. We have a number of new staff joining us as well as Deb Deighton re-joining us after a posting overseas with her husband.

Principal – Andrew Casey

Assistant Principal – Breen Fox

Religious Education Coordinator – Nikki Dwyer

Office Administrator - Jodie Luhrs

Classroom Support Teacher – Judy Elliott (4 days a week)

Kindergarten Gold – Katie Horsburgh

Kindergarten Blue – Veronica Trow

Year 1 – Jessica Mead

Year 2- Breen Fox/Nikki Dwyer

Year 3 – Ellen Fletcher/Cathy Ryan

Year 3/4 – Levi Heffernan

Year 5 – Kerrin Henderson

Year 6 – Ben Macintyre

Library – Liz Mihalopoulos (Monday, Tuesday and every second Wednesday)

Music – Debra Deighton

French – Chhaya Sood

Classroom Support Assistants – Maria Barbara, Jenny St George, Mishelle Pucci, Tracey Trewhella & Patrea Johnston

In addition, Nikki Dwyer is taking leave in Term 1 & 2 for family reasons. An Acting REC position has been advertised and closes shortly. This position and the part time teacher for those terms will be announced as soon as it is finalised.

You will notice that the classes include a Year 3/4. This is due to a large number of recent enrolments for Year 3 so Catholic Education has endorsed a straight Year 3 and a combined Year 3/4 class for 2022. Parents of students in the current Year 2 & 3 were informed yesterday with the option to express an interest in the multi-age class. All responses will be considered.

A permission note for the end of year Mass was distributed yesterday. The students will travel by bus from school departing at 9.30 for a 10am start. Parents are most welcome to attend. COVID -19 restrictions and plans are under the auspices of the Cathedral so families will need to check-in via the CBR App and social distancing rules will apply.

Enjoy the sunshine (finally)

Julie
