It is with mixed emotions that I write this last Principal report for the Monny Mag. I am excited about my new role but very sad to be saying goodbye to a wonderful school. Monbulk Primary School will always be very special to me as it was my first Principal position. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time and I know that I have made a difference in the life of the school. I am very proud of what I have accomplished and I feel that the legacy I leave is ‘School Improvement’. Over the past five years the following has been achieved under my leadership: Finances: Outsourced Out of School Care- saving $30,000 Changed cleaning contractors- saving $20,000 Grants over $90,000 Introduced Qkr Introduced eftpos/credit card facility
