From the Principal

We thank everyone in our school community for the wonderful support we have received this year. We wish you all a safe and peaceful holiday, and look forward to seeing you again in 2022.

We wish Miss Kim Timmins a fond farewell at the end of this school year. Kim was foundation Team Leader of Team Kauri and we wish her well with her move into the RTLB service. Kim has worked tirelessly for our students and as one of our Year 6 teachers has prepared her students incredibly well for their step to intermediate school.

We also wish Mrs Nicky Daniels all the best for the arrival of her first child in early 2022. Nicky will welcome her baby in February, and we look forward to bringing you news of the baby’s arrival through the newsletter and school Social Media!
