Dear Parents
At the end of the year it is a time to celebrate and
to express our gratitude. Reflecting on what we
achieved, individually and collectively, to honour
those who have excelled and to give thanks.
At Scotts Head Public School we are strong on
community partnerships – this is our greatest
strength and it does not happen by accident.
We especially want to acknowledge the Young,
Peachman, Stephens and Fox-Morrison families
whose time with us formally as a school is at an
end. Thank you for all you have contributed to our
school community over the years.
Congratulations to all of the students. Each of
you has progressed in so many ways and you will
be rewarded later in the week with a day at the
waterslide (then back at school ready to throw
water bombs at our Year 6s). This is a reward for
each and every one of you, for doing your best,
filling peoples buckets and spreading a positive
ripple effect in our lovely school.
Our staff are deeply invested in finding and
nurturing the immense potential inside all
students so that they are equipped to explore the
boundless possibilities that lie ahead of them.
Thanks to all of our teaching and support staff,
who have invested so much of themselves and
their outstanding expertise in the pursuit of this
vision for the benefit of our students and our
school. I count myself extremely privileged to
work with such a dedicated team.
I want to acknowledge Brooke Farnsworth and
Emma McAuley who are two teachers who have
gone on to regional positions and are doing great
work.
To all parents and caregivers, I thank you for
your passionate support of all things Scotts
Head PS and for giving us the opportunity to
work in partnership with you to give the greatest
gift of all, for all of our children – the gift of
education.
I extend to all members of our school
community my very best wishes for a peaceful,
refreshing and safe holiday. I look forward to
teaching, leading and learning with you all in
2017.
Thank you for your continued support.
