Looking Ahead to 2021
I would like to thank and congratulate Rose Powley for stepping into the Acting Principal's role for Term 1 2021 while the Board of Trustees carefully works through the appointment process for a new Principal. This is the most important role any school board has to carry out. I am delighted we have a highly capable and astute Board, representative of our school community, to carry out this task. In the meantime, parents can be confident and assured in the knowledge that Mrs Powley has all the prerequisites and skills required to effectively run and add value to the school and children's' learning. I am particularly excited about the Structured Literacy professional development (PD) she will be leading. She will be embarking on this PD with staff at the end of this term and into the new year. As has been the case for me, Mrs Powley will enjoy the strong support of Mrs Leanne Hale (Acting Deputy Principal) and the staff to assist in effectively running the school. [Read More...]
