Goodbyes and Welcomes

With the end of Semester One, we are very sad to wave off a few of our excellent staff members.
  
Deputy Principal Sam Seton is taking an acting role within the Department for 12 months and is very sadly taking her coffee machine with her, our gorgeous Narisha Deonarain leaves our Math Department to join Stephen Hood teaching at UC Secondary School Lake Ginninderra College, our very popular Ms Cooper leaves our Science Department to move to boring old Melbourne with her partner, and Chris Northey also from Science, has retired after a great many years of teaching in the Canberra area.  We thank these staff members for their contribution and commitment to the University of Canberra High School community and for the use of their private coffee machine, and we wish them well in all their future endeavours.                

In the interim, we welcome the following excellent people to our staff:
Steve Watson joins us as a highly experienced Deputy Principal, Greg Drury joins us teaching Maths for 5 weeks, Sarah Belling returns to us having finished her degree to help us in Science and Maths, Tim Kane also returns to continue to keep Agriculture running, and Katharine Broadhurst has won a permanent position in our English/SoSE Department.  

Permanent positions in Maths and Science have been advertised and will be filled within the next few weeks, and Sam and Steve have spent this week working together in a handover week. 


Please join us in welcoming our new staff to the UCHSK Community and wishing those departing the very best.
