Congratulations to this term’s recipients:

Staffing Update:

Congratulations to Nick Fenton for winning the Principal Advisor STEM role in Central Office.  Nick has been invaluable in his Innovation role here, but we wish him all the best for this exciting opportunity in semester 1.  The Expression Of Interest for the Innovation Coach role has been advertised and selection will be announced prior to the end of this term. Congratulations to also Gabriel Ramos and Rebekah Davis who have now been appointed permanently to New Farm SS staff for 2022. 

P&C 2021:

As we draw to the end of another very busy year, I wish to acknowledge the efforts of our P&C executive Louise Ware, Sheroo Wadia, Sarah Brady and Rachel Williams.  It is always a pleasure working with our dedicated team of parents and I commend their enthusiasm and willingness to contribute so readily to the commitments throughout the year.  This year the P&C have supported the implementation of the Beeston Street Community Garden, organised fundraisers, special events for our students and staff, supported strategic planning and resourcing of school initiatives, as well as sharing information with both parents and the school. Thank you also to all subcommittees or working groups who have volunteered and supported the gardens, tuckshop, swim club and our new build consultation.
