Dear Parents and Carers,
Farewell
At the end of the year, we farewell three of our wonderful teachers – Helen Bramanathan, Pam Sixsmith and Madeleine Reid. Helen and Pam are retiring and Madeleine and her family are moving back to Brisbane. I thank all of them for the contribution they have made to our students and the wider community. They will certainly be missed.
