Staff Update

Later this week, Mr Parker will be going on the school tour to the Kimberleys until the end of term. He will then be starting his long service leave, which will see him away from school until the start of next year. We wish Mr Parker a wonderful and well-deserved break and look forward to him returning in 2025.

In the meantime, I am delighted to introduce Miss Kahliah Nicol, who will be taking his place teaching PE to the students across Years 2 – 6. Miss Nicol is joining us having just completed a position teaching PE at Ashdale College. She started with us today and has met several of the classes already. She will continue to work alongside Mr Parker, before taking over when he departs for the school tour.

Warm regards
