Staff news

Mrs Andrea Kriewaldt, Mrs Andrea Splatt and Mrs Lea Walker-Franks have submitted their resignations from the College; Mrs Kriewaldt from the French teaching team at the end of the year, Mrs Splatt as College Registrar towards the end of the year and Mrs Walker-Franks from her role as Director of Development later this term.

We will have the opportunity to properly thank and acknowledge them later in the year, but I take this opportunity to wish Mrs Kriewaldt, Mrs Splatt and Mrs Walker-Franks continued health and happiness and thank them for their service to the College.

Thus, the College is advertising the positions of College Enrolments Manager and Teacher of French along with the Head of Faculty for Human Movements and Business and Technology over the next two weekends. The College will engage a recruitment firm to assist us in the process of appointing the Director of Development.

Korean trainee teachers

This week we have had the pleasure of hosting six trainee teachers from South Korea who are studying as part of an exchange program. I would like to thank Mr Michael Wooldridge, Mr Josh Kersevani and Mr Clinton Mills for welcoming them into their classes for the week and the boys for their hospitality. Lessons were facilitated by our guests in Korean traditional games.

Japanese and French exchange students

Thank you to our Language Coordinators, Mrs Lindsey Maher and Mrs Mary Cassidy for their hard work in organising our French and Japanese exchanges. We are now concluding the hosting of six young men from France for an extended stay at Terrace.  We have welcomed a large number of students from our partner school, Konan Boys’ High in Kobe recently. Thank you to Mr Toby Gowland and the Outdoor Education team at Maroon for giving these boys a special experience of Australia and to our wonderful host families who go that extra mile to make the visit a memorable one for years to come.
