We have been able to secure after school care for 2025-2027, and hopefully beyond. Through tender we have a nominated vendor who will take up the vacancy created by the withdrawal of our current after school provider. This is great news for families in our community.
As I mentioned in our Presentation Assembly on Tuesday we have a few staff members who we are farewelling today. I want to thank the following people for their contributions to the school in their time here.
- Emmitt Smith taking up a role for 12 months in WA whilst his partner is undertaking specialist training in her profession.
- Annette Djakic who is taking long service leave in February 2025 before retiring after a long and distinguished career.
- Abby Bent who is taking on a new challenge in a high school setting
- Lorna Clifford our School Business Manager (SBM) who is returning to Port Dalrymple to lead their administrative team as the SBM
I also want to acknowledge and congratulate the following people who have recently won advertised positions at Lilydale.
Kate Heazlewood will be our Instructional Specialist for the next three years. Kate will lead our Lifting Literacy initiatives and continue to work with staff to build the strong, contemporary delivery of curriculum.
Jess Currant is our new School Business Manager. Jess comes with a wealth of administrative and business acumen and I know is looking forward to contributing to the efficient running of the school.
I wanted to thank all those people who have supported me as Principal over the past 6½ years and also commend those people who have taken the time to come and discuss issues, face to face, to find mutual solutions for the students. Without these conversations and understanding the context for students we can’t make a difference.
The stability of staffing for 2025 will enable a smooth start for the incoming Principal Mrs Karen Hay. I trust that she is afforded some time to get to know the school and start to make the adjustments she believes will assist the school in its quest for further improvement.
I want to wish you all a very restful and enjoyable holiday period and trust that you are able to spend time with those you love and care for.
I have truly appreciated the opportunity to be the Principal of Lilydale District School and wish you all the very best for your collective and respective futures, wherever they may take you.
