It’s hard to believe the whole school year is now gone. We are finishing off and filing things for the last time and getting ready for a party on Friday with Secret Santa (AKA Kris Kringle) presents for everyone.
Camp last week was a great success and all the children demonstrated their independence and resilience, living in tents for the five days and cooking their own meals. We swam and walked, played in the sand, went kayaking, toasted marshmallows and sang around the campfire… all in all a wonderful week. Thank you so much to all the parents who helped us in so many ways.
Thank you also to the parents who have helped us over the course of the year, with maintenance, canteen or in the classroom, at social events or on the beach at Surf Skills. Your involvement with the school has been greatly appreciated by all of us. Special congratulations to everyone who worked so hard at the Fair. It was a really enjoyable day.
Thank you to my most wonderful colleagues… it is a great delight to work with such a dedicated and skillful team of teachers. I look forward to welcoming Joanne and Sarah and Gabrielle to this team next year.
And lastly some farewells. To Soo Jin, Thank you for all that you brought to Currambena. I wish you a very happy journey beyond this particular crossroad. And to Joe, Alex, Brock, Tim, Allend, Lucie, Carragh, Pascal and Holly who are leaving Currambena, we wish the very best for the next part of their school lives and for all the years to come. I will miss them all and hope they will keep in touch, maybe come along to Currambena’s 40th Birthday Party later next year! They will all take a little part of Currambena with them in their hearts… and of course there’s an endless supply for everyone who remains!
Have a safe and relaxing holiday! See you in 2009.
Love, Wendy
