As I sit here in my shared office with my amazing team of Deputy Principals’ I feel sad and also happy. Sad that I am leaving for a year, but happy that I know the school will be in great hands with Whaea Moana at the helm, and Whaea Danielle and Mrs Miers to support her, and of course all our amazing staff. 

What a phenomenal year we have had Weymouth Primary School. We have had so many opportunities for our children to engage in their learning and achieve the successes you all so deserve. 

Our student achievement data for the end of the year showed excellent gains in all Year Levels, and you should be proud of your successes. We still have lots of work to do so please keep up the learning over the long break. 

To Miss Johnson we wish you the best as you take a year off to have your baby. We know you will come and visit, but enjoy being a mummy.

Whaea Amie, thank you for coming to us for a year and supporting the Room 10 students on their learning journey. We wish you well at your new school. 

We welcome Louise Mackie and Tori Cash as our brand new Beginning Teachers for 2024. They are excited to join the ranks and we are excited for them. 

Term 4 has now come to an end. We wish you all a Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year. Stay safe. Be kind and caring. Look after each other. Help out around the house. Keep learning.
