FROM THE PRINCIPAL
Principal Position Update It is my understanding that there will be a three step process used to enable the school to transition to your new ongoing Principal:
Ms Wendy Nicol will be the Acting Principal here for the first couple of weeks at the beginning of term 2. Wendy has proven experience in filling the role and knows this school community and our teaching & learning priorities intimately. This will provide great stability during this transitional phase. Ms Tanja White will be working with Wendy in the Prep classroom during this time.
Then as required by DET, there will be expressions of interests sought from candidates to fill the position for the remainder of term 2.
The processes are already underway with School Council to employ the new substantiative Principal at Newhaven PS. It is expected that this will finalised during term 2, with this position commencing at the beginning of term 3.
Thank you Since announcing that I was moving on to Wonthaggi North PS next term I have realised how strongly I feel connected to the students, staff and parents here at Newhaven. I am extremely proud of what we have achieved together and honestly believe the school is well placed to provide excellent academic, social and emotional outcomes for ALL students. The last couple of days have included plenty of laughs, tears and stories. I started my journey here at the same time as our current Grade 6 students in 2010. It is amazing how quickly that time has passed. Thank you all for the support you have given me over that time. I know that my involvement here has shaped who I am both personally and professionally and for that I will always be grateful.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
23rd March 2016
A camera on Gallipoli coming to Phillip Island RSL from 12th
April
The Australian War Memorial’s digital exhibition A camera on Gallipoli, featuring First World War photographs taken by Sir Charles Ryan, will open within the ANZAC Room, Phillip Island RSL on
12th
April as a lead up to ANZAC Day.
President, Tom Mallaghan said “how fortunate we are to have such a magnificent collection of photos that will transport you back in time to experience a visual snapshot of what life must have been like as a soldier in the First World War.” “The Exhibition makes a great leap up to our
2016 ANZAC Day services”.
In 1914, at the age of 61, Sir Charles Ryan was appointed consulting surgeon to the AIF, embarking from Melbourne in October towards the Middle East and on to Gallipoli.
A camera on Gallipoli showcases a series of 39 candid photographs captured by Charles Ryan while serving with the AIF in Turkey in 1915.
The Director of the Australian War Memorial, Dr Brendan Nelson, says Charles Ryan’s photographs capture the reality behind the 1915 Gallipoli campaign, depicting a unique and often harsh view of our soldiers’ experiences.
“Ryan’s photographs reflect the Australians’ true experience of war, depicting the dry, forbidding landscape, tired troops in the trenches, and squalid dug-outs,” Dr Nelson said.
“Ryan also managed to capture the true spirit of the Australian soldiers who fought at Gallipoli. Their mateship, stoicism and endurance underpin the photographs and embody the meaning of the Anzac spirit.”
Behind the photographs in the exhibition is the story of Charles Ryan’s remarkable life. He served as a doctor with the Turkish army in 1877–78, treated Ned Kelly at Glenrowan, was a leading Melbourne surgeon and gave long service as a senior military officer. He was extended high civil and military recognition by his peers.
The exhibition is a centenary initiative to commemorate the centenary of the First World War.
A camera on Gallipoli is on display at ANZAC Room, Phillip Island RSL from 12th
to 28th
April 2016.
