Deputy Principal | Mr Damien Fall

As Term 3 draws to a close, I would like to take a few moments to recognise two members of staff who we farewelled this week. Mrs Julie Ferris has held various roles at Terrace over an extended period of years. Most recently, Julie has worked in our Waterford Place reception area, calmly dealing with the myriad of issues that arise at our Year 10 campus. At the end of this week, Julie will head into retirement and we wish her the very best for this exciting new phase of her life. At the time of writing, recruitment to replace Julie in the role is being finalised.

The Terrace Family is also delighted to farewell Mrs Donna Compton as she commences 12 months of maternity leave at the end of this week. We wish Donna and her family the very best for the arrival of their second child and the associated joys over the coming months and years. For the remainder of this year, Donna’s class will be taught by Mrs Angela Wood, who has completed a number of contracts at Terrace. We are confident that the year will finish very well for Year 6 Red.

We are in the middle of the recruitment season and are currently interviewing potential staff for a variety of teaching and non-teaching positions that have arisen due to retirements and resignations. We enjoy a loyal staff, several of whom who have spent many years of their career at Terrace, but we also look forward to welcoming new people and fresh ideas as the opportunity arises. With the commencement of holidays, I wish all in the Terrace Family a restful time over the next two weeks. Even if it is as simple as removing the stress of uniforms, lunches and homework, I hope everyone can catch their breath before the busyness of our final term - best wishes as always.
