From the Principal:
Well…where did that year go? It seems like yesterday that 2017 started and now we are at its close! End of Year Concert and Graduation- Wednesday 13 December Congratulations to our students on entertaining us with an extremely professional performance of ‘The Jungle Book’. The outdoor setting was perfect, the costumes looked fantastic and our students engaged the audience. It was obvious that our students were showing the values of Pride and Excellence as the effort required to create such a great performance was phenomenal. In true Scaddan spirit, as soon as the performance was done, parents and others guests all pitched in to pack the stage and chairs away! We then moved across to the Scaddan Country Club for the formal part of the evening. Well done to the students who presented their musical talents with Mrs Anne Henderson. You have all come such a long way. The following students were rewarded for their efforts and achievements in the following areas; K-6 Citizenship Award Stella K-2 Academic Achievement Award Maggie K-2 Consistent Effort Award Bridie 3-6 Academic Achievement Award Oliver 3-6 Consistent Effort Award Bevan K-6 Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Award/s Stella & Lucas K-6 Visual Arts Award Bevan K-6 Performing Arts Award Dustin K-2 Science Award Bridie 3-6 Science Award Liam K-6 Physical Education Award Oliver Our Year 6 students were then celebrated and farewelled. Each presented an iMovie showing their journey so far. Each student was presented with a certificate, pen and book as mementos to commemorate the event. Scaddan Primary School and the community wish Dustin, Luca and Bevan all the best in their journey through high school and beyond!
We then welcomed our Faction Captains and Student Forum for 2018; Mitch (Fleming Captain) Alby Oliver (Dempster Captain) Liam Lucy Stella Thomas Our students then entertained us with a song to get us all in the Christmas spirit; ‘12 Days of Aussie Christmas’. Thank you also goes to the P&C for organising a fantastic spread of food and refreshments for all attendees to enjoy. I am definitely going to miss the Scaddan cooking!

Staffing- Hellos and Goodbyes Notification was sent home last week announcing Hollie Shoobert as the new Junior Room Teacher. Hollie will be a fantastic asset to our school and her knowledge and skills will complement those already contained within the school. Welcome! Mr Ross Tamlin, currently Deputy Principal at Esperance Primary School, will take on the Principal position during Term 1 while the process is undertaken to find the substantive applicant to commence in Term 2. His experience and knowledge will be of great benefit to our school.
Scaddan wishes Mrs Guest a fantastic year in South Australia with her husband, Damen. Mrs Guest has had a massive impact on our school over the 6 years she has been part of our community, specifically the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden. Thank you for all your hard work, Mrs Guest! You will be missed. With my time at Scaddan coming to a close, I would once again like to thank all the students, staff, parents and community who have been supportive of me during my two years in the Principal position. I have learnt so much while in the position and will always look back on my time at Scaddan Primary School with fond memories. I hope everyone had a successful harvest and have a safe and happy holidays!
Kind regards,
Reece Smith l Principal
