__**Week 10 Term 2 2008**__

__**Abby's birthday**__ Hey its Abby's birthday, she thought we forgot but we didn't! We will celebrate Monday. Happy Birthday Abby!

It is a tough time for us at the moment having to say too many goodbyes to fabulous staff members who work so hard and go above and beyond their job descriptions. Susie has been here forever and is the best school cleaner I have ever worked with. Damien has big boots to fill. Susie will hate that we are making a fuss but lets. She always cleans your dishes and make sure the classrooms are of a high standard. She cares deeply for the kids and has done a wonderful job with Anthony this term. We wish you well Susie and hope all your dreams come true. I hope the tissue arrive on freight this week I think it is going to be tough on the eyes!!!!!! Linda and Brolga are hosting Susie, Phil & Kiana's going away party this Saturday 5th July 5pm onwards. BYO meat, drinks and chair. Linda & Brolga will also be having drinks and nibbles on Friday night from 5 onwards. Damien will be working as the cleaner and William will be working with Anthony in the classroom.
 * __Farewell Susie/Phil & Kiana__**

It with incredible sadness that we need to say goodbye to Phil and Kiana. These two staff members are outstanding and have added such value to our school and staff in so many ways. Phil has some plans to move to the United States or interstate. I am sure they will be successful where ever they go. On behalf of the staff I would like to publically acknowledge the work and dedication of both of these superb professionals and please know you will be missed by everyone. Do not forget us back here in Wyndham. I think we should have a do for them what does everyone think?????
 * __Phil and Kiana leaving__**

I would like to announce the appointment of James Nunn as the Deputy Principal of the secondary school for semester 2. James is from Mt Barker and has many excellent attributes which I believe will make him an asset to our team. He is bringing his wife and three young children with him. James will be starting work here in week 2.
