Principals Message
The last couple of weeks certainly bring a whirlwind of activities and events to Forest Primary, ending in the Grade 6 Assembly tonight to acknowledge and celebrate the academic achievement, respect and brilliance demonstrated by senior students. A huge thank you to all staff, students and the Parents & Friends group – the amount of effort, organisation and help in pulling together these final events has been staggering. From a winning float entry in the Smithton Christmas Parade, Family BBQ, wet assemblies, school picnic, Grade 6 Leavers Dinner and final assembly- staff and parents have worked extremely hard.
Staffing 2022
With staffing changes next year, we wish staff moving on to other parts of the state, new positions and bringing into the world new family members! Best wishes to Katelyn Cramer, Stacey King, Leah Skellington, Amy Pegg and Tori Horton. Mrs Poulter will be working at Forest Primary at the beginning of 2022 until she takes maternity leave. We welcome Paul Vardy Grade 5/6, Claire Ballot 5/6 and Melissa Cox in Prep and Sarah Jordan 1/2. Congratulations Kellie Bransden and J’Quai Horton who have both won a position as Education Support Specialists. These roles work in Prep classrooms.
Wishing all our families a beautiful Christmas and relaxing holiday break.
