Dear Holy Trinity Families,

It is my great pleasure to provide my first newsletter contribution as newly appointed Chair of the Holy Trinity School Board. I would like to thank Scott Pearsall for his enormous efforts in this position over the past years and express my gratitude for his continued support as an ongoing member of the board. I would also like to take this opportunity to welcome our newest board members Cath Day (Deputy Chair), Jane Baseby (Shadow Treasurer), Michelle Cains and Josh Hogan (Parent Representatives). Thank you to Lucy Vincent who has taken on the position of Secretary and to Tracey Hanlon for filling in for Emily Capper as REC.

The board discussed a school environment audit around playground safety and is committed to the safety and well being of all individuals in our school environment. We are looking into additional measures to continually monitor and improve the physical safety of the school grounds. This will include reviewing compliance of all playground equipment and rectifying any potential hazards.

I would like to acknowledge all of Philippa Brearley’s dedication and hard work in successfully securing a building grant for the Stage 2 of the building project. Construction work is well under way and we hope to see this completed by the beginning of Term 4. We are looking forward to seeing the new space with increased facilities for our children.

As Covid restrictions slowly begin to ease and opportunities to gather as a community come back on the horizon I look forward to meeting with you all in person again.

Andrew
