PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE

Dear Parents and Carers, Our school is preparing furiously for next term, with our teachers off class this week creating, discussing, and planning challenging, exciting and 21st learning experiences. Our teachers are very excited as they plan and discuss the best experiences for your children, continuing to make MSPS the best place to be. We have some exciting (and sad at the same time) news about staffing. We have some new teachers starting next term and we are excited for them to join our fantastic team here at MSPS. Congratulations to Mr Zac Bayliss who will be moving to Muswellbrook Public School. Welcome Miss Brooke Beith who will be taking 3/4 Yellow and is looking forward to joining our team. Welcome Miss Bethany Ellis who is starting on Miss Marshall’s class, as Miss Marshall will be leaving in Term 2 to start a family. Miss Molly Rutherford has been offered a permanent position in Tamworth and will be starting her new job next Term and we welcome Mrs Joanne Herd to the class. MSPS farewell these teachers warmly who are moving on for various reasons. They are going to be missed, not only by their class, but their student’s families and colleagues too. Good luck in your future! Do not be strangers to your Muswellbrook South family! Our Cross Country was run today, as well as the K to 2 fun run! It was a great day. Everyone had fun whilst raising some funds for Fibromyalgia Syndrome awareness. Thank you to Mr Adams and Mrs Felan for organising! Holidays are almost here! (11 weeks is a long term, even for the kids!). Our staff would like to wish you all a fantastic holiday with your children. We have witnessed happiness and joy, laughed with humour and excitement, worked hard, discussed, planned, created meaningful experiences, celebrated and acknowledged children’s work and shared this all with you. Looking forward to next Term, but first things first….HOLIDAYS! (TAG….your turn!) Tara Anderson Deputy Principal
