Senior Unit Weekly Update

Year Seven Maths Excursion Wednesday. If you wish to come along for a walk and have a volunteers badge, you are more than welcome, we would love to see there with us.

Mrs Eckermann's Class is on Worship this Thursday. as it is a Maundy Thursday, worship will take place at 2:30 in the afternoon. Would love to see the parents of the Senior Unit get behind the Mrs Eckermann's class as they present part of the Easter message to us.

Camp notes went out last week, please return them as soon as possible with payment so we can line up all our chickens and have a great experience. If you have any questions, please ask.

May you all have a blessed and safe Easter and holiday period.

News from Jo Jones (current Yr 1 Teacher)

It is with a mixture of both happiness and sadness that I would like to announce that as of Term 3, I will be stepping into a new fulltime teaching position as a Year 6 Teacher at Redeemer Lutheran, Nuriootpa.  I am sad to be leaving our lovely Year 1 class at Immanuel but it is an important step for me in my search for full time employment.  As the position only starts in Term 3, this gives ample time for Immanuel Leadership to find the right person to replace me, time for the students to adapt to the idea and plenty of time for goodbyes.  Thank you for your support at this time.   Jo Jones
