Bull Creek Primary School
From the Principal’s Desk
Farewell Mr Cremin Mr Tim Cremin is retiring today. I would like to sincerely express my thanks for the lovely, friendly working relationship we have had over the last four years and the support I personally have received. I’m sure all of the staff have fond memories of Tim’s time at Bull Creek and we all wish him a wonderful holiday and retirement.
Under Tim’s leadership we have achieved quite a lot in a relatively short time; becoming an Independent Public School, full implementation of Phase One of the Western Australian Curriculum and improved student results in National Testing to list just a few.
Just as importantly, under Tim’s guidance, as a community we have built respectful positive relationships, working together to ensure our students have the best possible opportunities. Tim will be attending the Assembly on Friday 4 March where he will stay for a coffee at the Snack Shack with any parents wishing to attend.
The staff will be holding a retirement function later in the term.
Once again from all of us have a healthy and happy retirement and thank you for all you have done for our
school, we will miss you.

Message from Department of Education The Department of Education have once again reminded schools to ask parents to exercise caution when driving, parking or reversing around the school at the beginning and end of the school day. Our young students have not got the same level of “traffic awareness” as High School students or adults. Please be very careful!
