Dear Rapid Bay families, Welcome back for 2021! The students have settled in nicely and our wonderful teachers and SSOs have ensured that the year has got off to a smooth start. It is so pleasing to see lots of smiling faces and students engaged with their learning. Let’s hope we have a more “normal” year and that we can return to having parents and carers attending events on site. As you would probably know by now, our classroom teachers for the year are ; JP class- Sarah King MP class Jo Cramond/Jen McArdle UP class- Bailee Holmes Specialist Teachers - Robert Moyer - science and music Leanne Menz - design and digital technology/PE We are so lucky to have such a dedicated and talented group of teachers, as well as our wonderful SSOs, to work with the students of RBPS. I would like to take the opportunity to welcome our new reception students and their families to our school. Our new reception students are Ruben, Indigo, Charlee, Charlie, Harley, Claire and Ivy. They have all settled into school life beautifully and we are so happy to have them here with us! Thanks to all the families who attended our Acquaintance Night. We also elected our Governing Council for 2021. Our Governing Council for 2021 is Victoria Wetherby - Governing Council Chairperson Lucy Williss - Deputy Chairperson Claire McKee - Secretary Kristy Russo - Treasurer James Potter Suzanne Vessey Kelly Wilson Julianne Rilstone I want to thank them for putting their hand up to assist with the running of the school and I look forward to working with them this year.
