Welcome back to Term 4!

It seems like a very long time since I have written for the newsletter. Thank you to the school community for your support over Term 3. Our family misses my father very much but life goes on. I appreciated having time away from work as the last few months have been very tiring. My special thanks to Brad Brown for stepping in as acting principal & Cassie Harris as acting assistant principal and the staff for supporting them in Term 3. All did a great job.

IMPORTANT DATES

Term 4 is always busy, starting with K-2 swimming lessons which begin this Friday. Please keep your eye on the School Calendar for all the important dates in Term 4 & beyond. Updates & reminders are regularly posted on the Compass App.

NIBBLES ON KNOX

Thanks to all the businesses who have supported this event & Kylie Brushaber & team for all their organisation. It looks like it will be a lovely event.

STAFFING IN 2024

In 2024 the school will have 13 classes, structured in the same way as 2023 with two classes of Kinder to Year 4 & three 5/6 groupings. I believe in 2025 we should become a totally 2 stream school.

Both our Year 1 teachers Mrs Brown & Mrs Yeo will be on maternity leave in 2024. We wish them well as they each add to their families. I have begun the process of finding replacements & thinking about what classes teachers will be taking in 2024.
I will keep you informed of any staff changes. Later this term families will be given an opportunity to offer some input into the creating of classes for next year. Students find out their class & teacher at the end of the year.
