Dear Families,
With this being our last newsletter for the year, I would like to take the opportunity to thank our parents, community partners and helpers, for their continued support and contribution to our school.
This term we say farewell to some of our wonderful staff. Sadly, we will be saying goodbye to Ms Balhatchet who will be transferring to Springfield Gardens Primary School and to Mrs Clark who will be transferring to Mount Stuart Primary School. We also say goodbye to Miss Fasnacht who will be taking up an appointment interstate, Ms Wagner who will be extending her time at Bellerive Primary and Ms Jo Wrigley who will also be working at Springfield Gardens.
On behalf of staff, students and parents I would like to wish them every success in their new schools and positions, and thank them for their contribution and commitment to Herdsmans Cove Primary.
At this stage I can confirm the following staffing and staff placements for 2023.

Yesterday the whole school celebrated Christmas lunch together in classrooms. Thank you to Mrs Riley for busily preparing lunch to feed all our students and staff and to her group of merry helpers in distributing the lunches to classrooms. It is a lovely way for everyone to experience the joy of sharing a Christmas meal together.
A BIG thank you once again Mrs Riley and team for everything you do for us.
Here is a photo of our kinder class ready to eat their lovely Christmas lunch.
A reminder that all Christmas Raffle books will need to be returned to school by the close of business on Monday 19 December. The raffle will be drawn promptly at 9.30 a.m. on Tuesday morning.
The 2023 calendars will also be ready for families that ordered on Tuesday 20 December.
Thank you Mrs Riley for your support of our P&F school association.
We wish our whole school community a wonderful Christmas and New Year. Stay safe in the holidays and we look forward to seeing students return to school next year on the 9 February.
