Principal News
Dear Parents,
Welcome to our first newsletter for Term 4.
Planning for the 2025 school year is well and truly underway and a very large component of this is staffing. Although there will be further updates, below is the teaching staff movement at present:
Firstly, I would like to mention Ms Margaret Doljanin, who has decided to retire very early in the 2025 school year. Marg has been an integral part of the St Saviour’s Primary community for 49 years, with next year being her 50th year of service. Marg is going to start her 50th year in a learning support role for 4 weeks before retiring. Planning for a celebration of Marg’s incredible career has begun and further details will be shared as they become available. Congratulations Marg and we do hope you enjoy spending more time with family.
Congratulations also to Mrs Natalie Lamb (Lancuba) who is expecting her second baby next year. Nat will remain on maternity leave for the 2025 school year. Eliza Smith will also be on maternity leave next year as she is expecting her first child around Christmas time. Luci Hogan will also remain on leave in 2025, however we do hope to see Luci around the school as she continues with supply work. Finally, Mrs Linda Harris is taking leave in 2025 to move to Longreach to be closer to her family so she can help out on the family property at Winton. We look forward to welcoming Linda back in 2026.
We also look forward to welcoming some new staff to St Saviour's Primary in 2025. Ms Meghann Kimmorley will be staying on in a more permanent role next year. Meghann has been working at SSPS whilst Ms Doljanin has been on leave and will continue to do so as Marg retires at the beginning of the year. Miss Taylor Morrison will be welcomed to St Saviour's Primary at the beginning of next year. Taylor joins us from St Mary’s in Charleville where she has been teaching in the upper years for four years. Lastly, Mrs Geraldine Priebbenow will be joining us from Our Lady of the Southern Cross College in Dalby. Geraldine has many years teaching experience in primary schools and is looking forward to relocating her family to Toowoomba.
The leadership team and I are now in the final stages of allocating teachers to year levels. There will be some changes from this year due to the movement mentioned above. Requests for classes/friendships etc will be asked for in the next newsletter in two weeks time.
Thanks for reading. I look forward to spending time with grandparents tomorrow.
