Dear St Anne's Community,

I hope that you are all well. 

Today, I had the pleasure of welcoming Mrs Louise Grant to St Anne's. As you know, Louise will be my replacement from 2025 onwards. Staff had the opportunity to meet with Louise in the staffroom for an informal lunch, before Louise and I went for a walk around the school. Louise was very impressed with the school and the students. There will be other opportunities over the next term and a half for students to be formally introduced to Louise. Louise is very excited about starting at St Anne's next year. 

School Supervision

We kindly ask that students do not enter school grounds before 8:30am of a morning. The one exception to this is the early bus. Playground supervision does not start until 8:30am. 

Father's Day BBQ & Touch Game

Thank you to all the dads, granddads and friends who joined us for our annual Father's Day BBQ and touch football game. It was impressive to see that the dads still have the agility, speed, and skill to beat the Year 10 students. 

Showcase

Thank you for your ongoing support with finding bits of costume or props for the upcoming showcase, it is appreciated. 

SCC Meeting

This week, the School Community Council (SCC) met for its Week 7 meeting. We spoke about the Canapes in the Canola event and Garden Viewing. Tickets are still on sale for the Canapes event, and we encourage you to attend this event if you can. 

School Prayer and School Song

At this week's staff meeting, our staff worked in two different groups. Our Religious Education teachers worked with Mrs Collins on curriculum items and the Non-RE teachers worked with me on different ideas for a school song and prayer. Hopefully, we have a prayer and song in place before our presentation events next term. 

Staffing

I currently have a PDHPE/Maths teacher position advertised for secondary. 

Take care,

Grant Haigh
