I extend a very warm welcome to all of our students, parents and staff for 2012.  Our term planners are already filling up with a variety of meetings, excursions, visits and other events.  Our classes have morning tea’s this week and a Community BBQ is planned for Wednesday 22 February; we hope to see lots of people come along and join us in showcasing some of the great work our students are completing.

Staff joining out team for 2012 include:

Ø      Ms. Tania Dornan ~ Pre-Primary

Ø      Ms. Stacey Mills ~ Year 5/6A

Ø      Ms. Sue Henry ~ Year 8 – 10A

Ø      Ms. Mel Battilana ~ YEP

Ø      Ms. Jody Prothero ~ Youth Worker

Ø      Ms. Tanya Johns ~ Deputy Principal (returning after nearly 2 years)

Ø      Mr Shane Mallard ~ Clontarf Football Academy

Our first assembly for the year is this week and as started in 2011, we will be serving a light lunch for parents and families after the assembly in the Community Room.  Assemblies run each fortnight and commence at 12:30pm.  Please come along and join us, see your children, meet the teachers and ask any questions you may have.

We have had a very positive level of attendance this year and we hope that we continue to see it remain high (or improve even more).  We all need to work together in getting students to school and staying in class.  Together we can make a difference.
