Carpark Chaos: Thankyou for the way you are all coming into the carpark now, it is looking a much safer area to be in. There is no parking in the staff carparks and near the dental clinic, as this restricts movement near the top exit. The traffic department has called in several times as part of their current focus of safety for children after school.
Staffing: Joanna Heap is leaving Western Heights at the end of the term to be with her partner, soon to be husband, overseas. We are very sad to see her go, but are excited for her future. Joanna’s fiancé is a member of the Samoan world cup rugby squad. Melissa Hutton will be in class space 10 for the rest of the year.
