Easter Hat Parade
This, no doubt, is one of my favourite school events on the school calendar, and what a day we managed to have on Thursday, the last day of Term 1. A parade of colour, creativity and self-pride, as our junior students displayed their creations with their buddies from the senior classes. Thank you to the many parents/carers who took time out of their busy schedule to come along! Even our teachers joined in with the festivities. Thank you to our parents/carers who supplied the resources for the hats and thank you to the class teachers who prepared hats for all their students.
Congratulations to the Saad Family
I am absolutely delighted to announce that Mrs Saad recently gave birth to a beautiful baby girl – Ella. Ella was born on 19th March at 8:50am. Both mum and baby are doing very well. On behalf of the Concord PS community, we send our congratulations and well wishes to the entire Saad family and we look forward to meeting little Ella in the near future.
Good luck Mrs Betty
As you may all be aware, this week we said good-bye to Mrs Betty Annetta, who will be working at Croydon Public School as the relieving School Administrative Officer, commencing in Term 2. This position is until the end of 2021. Mrs Betty has made this difficult decision to be closer to her family. We are currently endeavouring to fill this position and we will let the community know once the recruitment process has been finalised. Good luck, Mrs Betty! We will miss you!
Endorsement of the Strategic Improvement Plan, 2021-2024
On Tuesday, Ms El-Hage, Mrs Soteriou and I visited the Strathfield Education Office with our plan for the next 4 year cycle, as outlined in the Strategic Improvement Plan. I am pleased to say that our plan has been endorsed by the Director Educational Leadership, Maria Serafim. The Strategic Improvement Plan, along with all the school’s targets, will be available to our community early Term 2 on the school’s website.
Personal Leave
I will be taking a short period of personal leave from Tuesday 20th April until Thursday 29th April, returning on Friday 30th April. In my absence, Mrs Mina Coco will be the relieving Principal.
To all our families who celebrate Easter, we wish you a festive and joyous time with your family and loved-ones. Stay safe and look out for each other. To our students, I hope you managed to achieve some of your goals this term. Remember, its hard work and commitment that gets you to the other side. To our wonderful teachers and staff, thank you for all your efforts and hard work throughout the term! Now it’s time for our whole school community to recharge their batteries over the next 2 weeks.
See you all next term!
