In our final newsletter of the year I would like to thank our parents and community members for their support while I have settled in over last three terms at Kangaroo Valley Public School. I am looking forward to continuing in the role next year in a relieving capacity while Mr Smee continues to take leave.
I would like to thank all of our amazing staff for their commitment to the school - all the extra hours, dedication and passion for the work they do each and every day. Our students are incredibly lucky to have such wonderful teachers and support staff who care for them and support them throughout their schooling journey.
