Principal's report - Term 4 Week 7

Dear families of Wollongong West,

New enrolments

Over the past few weeks, our school has welcomed many new children and their families to our school. It is wonderful to have new community members joining our ever growing school. I extend a heart felt welcome to all of our new families.

New staff members

This week, we warmly welcomed Ms Sally Clough to our school. Ms Clough is an Assistant Principal from the Campbelltown area who has extensive expertise, knowledge and skills in supporting students with disabilities and additional learning needs. Ms Clough will be spending the remainder of the year preparing our school for the establishment of our support classes in 2020.

Next year, we will also welcome Mrs Shelley Donaldson to our school as the teacher of our class for children with autism. Mrs Donaldson is an experienced teacher, transferring from Farmborough Road Public School.

We have also recently welcomed Mrs Rachael Ebens to our school. Mrs Ebens is a School Learning Support Officer, who is supporting the children at our school with additional learning needs.

I warmly welcome these staff members to our school.

Presentation Assembly

On Monday 2 December we will be holding our annual presentation assembly at 9:15am in our school hall. Parents of award recipients have been contacted. Families are welcome to join us in celebrating another great year of learning at our school

Kind regards,

Michelle Barnes

Principal
