STAFF NEWS:

TEACHER ONLY DAY – We reviewed the programming and profiles that we manage and then went on to clean the equipment in storage so that it could be used in curriculum areas – which we have been reviewing recently.

Many thanks to Dalal who has relieved for Lara while she was on parental leave.  Dalal will finish up at the end of November, she has been a wonderful addition to the team and we look forward to her continuing as a reliever on an as needed basis in the future.

Welcome back Lara – who is returning to work on Monday the 28th of November after her Parental Leave period. We look forward to having Lara back again before the Christmas close down.
