PRINCIPAL’S NEWS
Dear families,
This will be my second last newsletter for our community.
I have been reflecting on my time here, as I will be taking Long Service Leave in term 2 and then at the completion of my
leave, I will be officially retiring from the Department of Education.
I, therefore, will be finishing my time at Cranbourne Primary School in four weeks at the end of this term.
I remember, as I stepped into the school grounds for the first time – day one of term 4, October 2010, being filled with
excitement and anticipation of what my new position would be like, as I joined this beautiful school with such rich history,
being the first primary school built in Cranbourne in 1890.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the families, students and teachers whom I have had the privilege to have
known and worked with over the past 10 years at Cranbourne Primary School.
I was particularly proud to learn that I was the first female Principal appointed to the school in 120 years.
On my first day, there was such excitement as we opened the newly built BER building, which has provided a modern
education environment for hundreds of children during the past decade. This was quickly followed by the refurbishment of
the main building where a new Art room, library space and learning communities were established.
Developments that have been achieved during my time at CPS have included: the development and upgrade of our Admin
area, upgrading of our fencing, installation of PRIDE place which is scheduled to become our future Community Hub,
development of the sand pit area, transition to the current uniform, establishment of learning communities, annual Casey
Citizen Award recipients, the promotion of many staff into leadership positions at other schools, students going on to achieve
academic excellence at secondary and university level.
During my teaching and leadership career, which has spanned across 38 years, I have been honored and privileged to have
supported and influenced the academic and well-being growth & development of thousands of students & their families, as
well as supporting the development of hundreds of teachers and aspiring school leaders.
I leave the school knowing that the gym will be upgraded next term, and the students will continue to be taught and
supported by such caring and dedicated teachers and staff.
I would like to wish every member of the community – staff, students and families all the best as we move into a new world
of social distance, snap Lockdowns, quarantines and restrictions. I thank you for your ongoing involvement with the school
and your dedication to supporting your child’s ongoing education.
I would like to commend the current and past staff who have worked in this community and have contributed to the
development and achievements of our amazing children.
So what does this mean?
An Acting Principal will be appointed to lead Cranbourne Primary school whilst I Due to the Public Holiday on
am on Long Service Leave during term 2. Monday 8th March, our next
A permanent Principal will be selected through a formal process and he/she will school assembly will be held on

All students at CPS experienced Kaboom once again on Friday 19th February!
We enjoyed so many fun activities that got us moving and working in teams!
Thankyou to Kaboom sports! We had so much fun!
Splish and Splash are settling into their new home in the EAL classroom nicely. Splish is no longer hiding in its barrel when it hears the students coming in for learning. Instead you might find Splish and Splash at the top of the tank, waiting to be fed – they are always looking for food, but we can’t overfeed them, or they might get sick. While they were away, the students decorated their little area in the EAL room and also wrote some stories
