Dear Friends,

Australian Primary Principals Day:

As some of you might have been aware, Friday 2 August was Australian Primary Principals’ Day. According to the Australian Primary Principals Association website, this day “is an opportunity for school communities to recognise the work done by Principals and Deputies.” The website further notes that “[o]ur school leaders shoulder so much responsibility for the development of Australia’s children that we really should give them a round of applause from time so here’s an opportunity.” At our School Board meeting last week, the Board took the opportunity of the Australian Primary Principals’ Day to recognize Philippa Brearley’s outstanding leadership, commitment and care, and gave her a round of applause on behalf of our School community. We are truly blessed to have Philippa as our Principal and we thank her for all she does for our children and our School community.

School Board Positions in 2020:

At the recent School Board meeting we also identified that there will likely be a small number of positions becoming available on the School Board in 2020. As such, we would like to invite any parent interested in being on the School Board to complete a nomination form, a copy of which can be found here. This nomination form also includes an explanation of the role of the School Board; so please take a moment to have a read about this role if you are interested. I am also very happy to speak to anyone who might be interested in submitting a nomination. If you would like to contact me, please feel free to email me at sbpearsall@gmail.com and we can make a time to speak.

If you would like to submit a nomination, please complete the requisite form and return it to Philippa (via the front office, or by email) by 30 August 2019.

Wishing you all the very best.

Scott
