We have hit the ground running this year with plenty of learning and events. I would like to extend a special thank you to the staff at Kurrajong North Public School for their hard work and dedication to the teaching profession and our beautiful school. Our classes have settled into their routines and our 2021 Kindy students have fit right into 'big school'. It is hard to believe that we are entering into the second half of Term 1.
A little about myself
I have been in the teaching profession for the past eighteen years. I have experienced education across a number of settings including schools within the Department of Education, Catholic Education and in the United Kingdom. I have enjoyed a number of roles throughout my career including classroom teacher, Teacher Librarian, Learning and Support teacher, Assistant Principal, Senior Educational Officer working within the Department of Education and Relieving Principal. My most recent experience has been at Grose View Public School where I was appointed as Assistant Principal in 2015.
I have lived in the Hawkesbury for thirteen years and love the serenity and community spirit of this historic town which is nestled on Dyarubbin, the Hawkesbury River. I am a mum with two children, a son and a daughter, who both attend Grose View Public School.
I have very much enjoyed getting to know the students, staff and families at Kurrajong North PS and appreciate the support from the school community.

School Canteen
Our school canteen operates every Friday and it is with thanks to our parent volunteers. Our new canteen manager is Jennifer Bourne who is new to our school community in 2021. Thank you Jennifer for taking on the role and thank you to the parents who have already offered their time. Please contact the P&C if you are able to assist.
School Zone Safety
Staying safe on Stone Terrace is incredibly important. Please remember that our students use the footpath beside the road to enter and leave the school grounds. It is extremely important that families stay vigilant on this residential road. Please be reminded to use the Kiss and Drop area as a turning bay rather than the driveway near the school gate. We want to keep our students as safe as possible.
COVID Guidelines
Thank you to our parent community for their understanding regarding the COVID guidelines. Just a friendly reminder that all visitors must log in using the QR code and only enter the premises to visit the school office for late arrivals/early departures, to purchase uniforms or to attend pre-scheduled meetings.
