TERM 1 THANK YOU
I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for the support offered during this term. I have greatly
appreciated the messages and well wishes offered. I am very excited to be part of this wonderful community,
moving forward as the Principal. As one little person expressed to me last week, “You don’t have to pretend
any more. You can be the real thing now!”
I wish everyone a safe and relaxing break. Take time with those who mean the most to you!
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Miss Mannes for her hard work this term. Miss Mannes has
worked at our school for a number of years, fulfilling many different roles. Next week, Miss Mannes and her
partner head to Europe, travelling and exploring many different countries. Whilst away, Miss Mannes will
travel to Turkey, Greece and then make their way through Europe before heading to South America. She will
return to Australia late in Term 4. We wish Miss Mannes and Jeremy all the best for their travels. Stay safe!
We look forward to hearing all about your many adventures.
