From the Principal

Welcome to our very first eNewsletter developed through Schoolzine.  We are still in the learning stage of using this so there may be a few bumps along the way. Our decision to develop our newsletter this way is part of our work towards being more environmentally friendly, more efficient in providing our school community with quick access to school information, and celebration of learning. Your feedback is most welcome.

It’s hard to believe that we are almost at the end of term 1! It has been a very busy and productive term. I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know the Norwood School Community and have settled in well to this new role. Many of you may already be aware through our School Association that I was successful in winning a Hardie Fellowship last year which will involve studying in the USA for term 2 this year. 

Although, I feel hesitant to temporarily step out my Principal role after only one term, this is an opportunity that will have huge benefits for my long-term commitment to Norwood Primary School. 

Mrs Rachel Brown has been the successful applicant to take on the Principal role for term 2. Rachel is currently Assistant Principal at East Launceston PS and has previously undertaken a number of Acting Principal roles, most recently at West Launceston PS. 

I am very pleased to announce that Mrs Lynn Wyllie will continue with us as Assistant Principal for the remainder of the year. I know that the team will continue with the same dedicated approach to efficiency and school improvement as always. I look forward to completing the term with everyone and bringing back lots of new learning in term 3.
