Professional Office Staff Day

On behalf of all staff and families, I wish to thank our office team (Jenny, Stan, Viv, Natalie, Olivia, Tayla and Nicola) for the professionalism and the positivity they demonstrate in their roles each day. Their dedication to our students, staff and community is very much appreciated by us. Students and staff sent beautiful cards and special gifts for our office team last Friday to acknowledge their valuable contribution to our school.

Parent Teacher Interviews

Thank you to the many parents who are attending this week’s parent-teacher interviews. Thank you to the leadership team for managing the booking, timing and catering and to admin/facilities staff for setting up and cleaning up for the event. It takes a team effort to ensure these events go well. Any feedback on how we can improve the process is always gratefully received, please email admin@newfarmss.eq.edu.au

Mother’s Day – Sunday 12th May

I hope this year’s Mother’s Day is a special time for all families, recognising, remembering and celebrating all those significant people in your lives who are loving, compassionate, endearing, kind, protective, extraordinary, intuitive, caring and mindful. Happy Mother’s Day.

P&C AGM – Congratulations to our newly elected 2024 P&C Executive:

President – Rachel Frizzo

Vice President – tbc

Treasurer – Dahna Gallantree

Secretary – Catherine Lloyd

Thank you to our outgoing 2023 P&C Executive member Tenielle Elliot for her contribution as secretary.  Rachel and Dahna have generously continued on this year which is great for the continuity and succession planning for our school. It is wonderful to see such a large group of parents attending our meetings and getting involved in the tuckshop, gardening, fundraisers and uniform shop. P&C is a great way to find out more about the school and an opportunity to build a strong school community partnership.
