I would like to welcome Alice, Jodie and Olivia to the DPS team. I would also like to welcome Ingrid Orvis back to the school after her parental leave.
I will let the community know as soon as we conclude the final appointment process for a fourth teacher in the middle years team.
Bridget Henry and Mitch Sinnott remain on staff but are taking a period of parental leave.
In addition to the teaching team Anthony Martino has been appointed as the school’s social worker. I would like to congratulate Anthony on completing his training and securing this position. He will work within our inclusion team, led by Kate Wojcik.
We are making some additional appointments to this team over the next few days.
