Welcome to term 2!
Whilst Michele Russell is on leave enjoying some well-deserved family time and travel, I feel privileged to have the opportunity to step into the role of principal for the term. I would like to express my appreciation for the warm welcome and support I have received since joining the Reynella Primary School community. Having led and worked alongside a number of schools in the southern area, I am well aware of the high regard in which Reynella stands. From what I have experienced, the school community exhibits a great sense of unity and staff and students are dedicated and resilient, which is highly visible through the Mindsets for learning.
I am pleased to announce two additions the Reynella Primary School staff for term 2. We extend a warm welcome to Kristen Modra, who will be joining us in B6 for the duration of the term, and Danny Baker, who will be teaching in F7 from Wednesdays to Fridays. Their expertise and knowledge of the school will continue to compliment our learning environment.
Furthermore, I am thrilled to acknowledge the outstanding news of our cross-country team's achievement at the recent SAPSASA competition held at Thalassa Park. Our dedicated athletes showcased exemplary skill, determination and sportsmanship, resulting in them bring home the winners trophy in the 'large schools' category. Having previously worked with schools across the region participating in this event, I assure you that this achievement should not be underestimated. On behalf of the Reynella Primary School community, we extend congratulations to our athletes and everyone involved in supporting and nurturing their success on the day. A special thanks to Paul Smith and Kylie Ashworth for their preparations leading up to the event.
