Junior School NoticesTERM 4 WEEK 1Dear valued member of the PLC community, I hope that all members of our community enjoyed the holiday break and were able to make the most of this time. It was delightful being able to welcome back the children on Tuesday. A very warm welcome to returning and new members of our community. We hope you settle in quickly and re-establish connections or make new friends and know that we are here to support you in any way we can. Term 4 always seems to just zoom by, but as we keep our eye on the future and prepare for upcoming events, the holiday break also reminds us to enjoy the moment. There will be many special moments to appreciate this term as we learn, embrace challenges, celebrate, and commemorate. Term 4 Staffing UpdatesMs Nat Medhurst has decided not to return to fulltime employment after Parental Leave. We thank Nat for her contribution and wish her the very best in the future. We have been fortunate to have Mr Sam Maxwell as the Acting Head of Sport. We appreciate his leadership in this role and his contribution to the development of a new strategic plan for sport. The sports strategy is set to be finalised before the end of the year when more information will be shared with the community.
