Dance Extravaganza

Thank you to our Dance teachers and Mrs Loudon for organising this week’s end of term P-2 dance performance.  It is a wonderful showcase of their dance lessons for term 4 and a great fun event for our last week of school.  Thank you again to our marvellous dance instructors.

Staffing Update: Thank you and farewell to our staff who are leaving New Farm this year:  Ms Gardner (transfer), Mr Nash (transfer), Mrs Nav (leave 2023), Ms Dunne (transfer), and Ms Dorante (transfer).  We wish you all the best for your new appointments.  Welcome to incoming teachers Mr Jones, Ms Johnston, Ms Dixon and Ms Krohn.  All new teaching staff have visited New Farm and begun their induction and professional development sessions. 

2023 Class Allocations: Thank you to staff who have worked tirelessly to ensure the complex task of reorganising students into their new classes., this has now been finalised.  Students will receive a teacher postcard package to bring home and most will meet their new teacher this week.  If the class teacher is unable to attend due to commitments at their current school, an opportunity will be available in the January Pupil Free Days. The Open Morning for families to attend is scheduled from 8am-9am only on  Friday 20 January 2023.
