21.01.2022 Farewell Mrs Primer Today was Mrs Primer’s last day and we are all going to miss her very much. Maryanne is such a caring, beautiful and thoughtful teacher who is highly respected by staff, parents and students. Such a sad day but also one of excitement as we officially opened the prep garden. A huge thanks to Deb Greenwood and all of our amazing parents who made it possible. It looks amazing! The preps made salad and lettuce sandwiches from the vegetables they grew and our wonderful prep parents gave Mrs Primer some beautiful gifts. We shed a few tears as Mrs Primer did the clap out! We wish you all the best x

10.01.2022 We are meeting with the Assistant Regional Director on Thursday and a part of our discussions will be about the Education Department’s guidelines for the commencement of 2021. We understand it has been a very challenging year for staff, parents and students given the current Education Departments Covid restrictions which we must adhere to. We look forward to having parents being actively involved with our beautiful school and hope that things settle down so that we can return to our normal school routines next year. At this stage we are not sure what the next steps will be but we will communicate any updates to families. Mapleton is a beautiful school and we highly value parent involvement. We will be guided by the advice of the Education Department. Thank you for your patience.
