Principal’s Message
Quality Education in a Stimulating Environment
Dear parents and carers Welcome back for another year of learning at Engadine West PS. Let me firstly introduce you to our new members of staff for 2018. Mr Jeremy Metliss, Assistant Principal. Mr Metliss won the Assistant Principal position on merit last year and
will be teaching 6M.
Mr Liam Herne, classroom teacher, teaching 6H.
Miss Naomi Irwin, classroom teacher, teaching KT. We warmly welcome these new members of staff to the Engadine West PS community. Welcome back to Mrs Nicole Gilmore who was relieving Principal at Waterfall PS for the majority of last year. Her return is warmly welcomed. Mrs Beech continues with her medical treatment and leave, but is reported to be progressing well. She asked me to express her thanks to the community for all the well wishes before Christmas. Classes
All classes were established on day one of the school term this year due to our student numbers being stable. We are expecting 100 Kindergarten students to start school tomorrow to form five classes for this year. The total classes K-6 is 28. Meet the Teacher
Meet the Teacher evenings will be held in Week 3. Days/dates are yet to be finalised, but will be publicised as soon as possible. Teachers value your attendance at these sessions, so they can meet you and share information with you about the year ahead for your child. Learning Labs
