Well it seems we have reached the end of Semester 1. It, like always, has been a very busy time with many rich and varied activities in the learning programmes, sporting arena and socially. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the parents and community members who have shown so much support for me personally and for the school over this time. I would also like to thank the students for all their dedication and hard work in their learning. Finally, I would like to thank the staff for their support, empathy and professionalism during the semester. I consider it a privilege working with such a fine group of people! Mrs Gard will not be returning next term as she continues treatment, and I look forward to continuing as principal next semester.
