Principal’s Report Building Work

Callaghan College Jesmond Senior Campus is in the

beginning stages of their exciting building project. The

project will include a new hall and nine classrooms to

replace the aging Bini and demountables. It will be purpose

built for Creative and Performing Arts and will include a

theatre and open spaces. The main impact on our school

will involve new vehicle and pedestrian access from Janet

Street.

As the building program progresses there will be a series of

internal and external information booths to provide

updates on the progress of the development. The next of

these booths will be on the 27th March from 1.00pm to

3.00pm at the entrance to the high school and then again

on the 29th March from 6.00pm to 8.00pm at Jesmond

Stockland Mall.

If you would like to know more please visit the information

booths. I will also keep our school community up-to-date as

I become aware of any new information.

Unsung Hero

Today’s unsung hero is Mr Nathan Wilkinson, our Learning

and Support Teacher. Mr Wilko started at Heaton Public School in 2016 and has worked closely with children to develop

their literacy and numeracy skills. He also builds relationships with students to help them develop appropriate social

skills. He is sharing Tirriki 3 with Ms Field this year and is doing fantastic work in the classroom.

Mr Wilko loves sport and has taken responsibility for a number of sporting teams including soccer, softball and touch

football. He even organised for the children at our school to be part of a new world record earlier this term when every

child (and all the teachers) ate vegetables as part of the Vegi Crunch World Record attempt.

Mr Wilko brings a positive attitude to school every day and the children enjoy working with him in the classroom or in

The Cave to improve their skills. Well done Mr Wilkinson.
