Dear Families,

Subject: Change to Prep–1 Class Teacher at Spreyton Primary School

I’m writing to inform you of an upcoming change to your child’s Prep–1 class teacher at Spreyton Primary School.

The Department for Education, Children and Young People has appointed a permanently employed and experienced Prep–1 teacher to our school. As a result, Felicity Young’s contract will conclude at the end of Term 3.

We sincerely thank Felicity for her dedication and the positive impact she has made during Terms 2 and 3. Her contribution to our students’ learning and wellbeing has been greatly appreciated.

To support a smooth transition, Tamika Goss will commence on Monday, September 15, allowing time for her to connect with students and staff before Term 4 begins. Tamika will also be supported by our Instructional Specialist, Barrie McClymont, to ensure a successful start to her teaching journey at Spreyton Primary School.

Thank you for your continued support and understanding during this transition. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Warm regards,

John Hudson
Principal
