Thank you once again for all your wonderful support of the school throughout Term 3 which once again proved to be a unique term with many challenges. I am very proud to be a member of a school community that is so supportive of each other in times of difficulty. I am confident that my exile from NSW/Byron Shire will cease during the holidays and I expect to return for onsite duty on Day 1 Term 4. Massive thank you Lisa and our incredibly talented staff who have once again come together so positively in my absence.

Have a wonderfully relaxing and thoroughly enjoyable holiday.
