Dear Families

I would like to extend my appreciation and gratitude to the whole school community for the wonderful celebration farewell breakfast yesterday morning. I was deeply moved by your kindness. I have loved working alongside our school community as Principal for the past 14 years, teaching in our community for nearly 25 years and 45 years of service to Education. Thank you for the experiences and memories that you have gifted to me and for the wonderful expressions of thanks and best wishes I have received from so many. I wish you all the very best for the future. It has been an absolute honour and a privilege to have worked with our fantastic students, staff, parents and the most amazing community. I am forever grateful.

I am pleased to announce that Mr Tobin McColl has been appointed as Acting Principal until the end of the year. Mr McColl has previously been Acting Principal at Clarence High School.  Mr McColl’s appointment will commence on Monday 24 July.

This term we say farewell to some of our wonderful staff.  Sadly, we will be saying goodbye to Miss Madeline Rizzolo and our School Psychologist Miss Rachelle Dolzan who will be transferring to another school.  On behalf of staff, students and parents I would like to wish them every success and thank them for their contribution and commitment to Herdsmans Cove Primary. 

It feels so surreal to be writing my last newsletter but it’s over and out from me.

Carolyn Brown, Principal
