Relieving principal is appointed

Ms Jane Rees has been appointed the relieving principal at Pretty Beach Public School while Ms Deborah Callender is on leave.

"It was lovely to meet so many of the wonderful students during the week and their friendly and helpful attitudes have made me feel very welcomed," said Ms Rees.

"From the moment I walked in to the school, I felt a strong sense of community and friendship, which is something I know the school prides itself on.

"I have already had the privilege of working with the Pretty Beach Public School teachers over the past year.

"At my previous school, I have been leading professional learning for the implementation of the new English and mathematics syllabuses.

"Throughout the year, our two schools have worked closely together in these areas with numerous joint staff development sessions and opportunities to share and develop our professional knowledge.

"This has certainly strengthened the knowledge and understanding of the teachers from both schools and has resulted in a close bond between the teachers.

"I am very fortunate to be here at this wonderful school and I am really looking forward to working with the students, teachers and all in our school community.

"It is going to be an exciting and rewarding term ahead," said Ms Rees.
