Principal's Message

Dear Parents and Carers,

After approximately 37 years of working as a teacher, with 29 of those years at St Columbkille’s, Mrs Susan Smyth has decided to resign from her position and continue in our diocese as a casual teacher. Her final day in her permanent temporary role will be Friday 24 May (Week 4), but I am sure we will see Mrs Smyth post this, taking on some casual teaching days. The process of employing a temporary part time replacement (classroom teacher for 1 Blue) has commenced and will be announced once finalised.

We thank the P&F for organising and running our Mother's Day Stall on Thursday which allowed our students to purchase gifts for their mothers and mother figures and this morning, we enjoyed a beautiful Mother's Day Liturgy followed by light refreshments. I thank Mrs Herring for the organsation and her leadership.

I take this opportunity to wish all our mothers and mother figures a beautiful Mother's Day. May your celebrations acknowledge all that you do for your families and warm your hearts with love.

On Wednesday 8th May, we were visited by the Director of Schools, Peter Hill. Mr Hill met with myself and our leadership team, met with our staff and visited some of the learning spaces, greeting our students and speaking with them. Mr Hill was very complementary of our school environment, the manners displayed by our students and the collective work of all our staff. We should be very proud St Columbkille's!

If you haven't already done so, could you please take some time to complete the Tell It From Me Survey. The survey results will allow us to celebrate and improve our school.

Have a great fortnight.

Maria Disibio

Acting Principal
