Mrs Chris Cheyne, BA, GradDipTch(Prim), AMusTCL has been appointed to a full-time permanent<br />
position at Year 7 level, taking effect from the beginning of next year. Mrs Cheyne who has been on<br />
our staff in a fixed term capacity up until now will continue as a Year 7 Form teacher and will teach<br />
Year 7 English (both classes) and Years 7 and 8 Religious Studies (as well as one or two other<br />
classes).<br />
Mr Gary Corbishley, BA, DipTchg has been appointed to the full-time Year 8 position for 2013,<br />
teaching mainly Social Studies but also possibly one or two English classes at secondary level. Mr<br />
Corbishley who has been Acting HOD English this year (pending Miss Joanne Weggery’s<br />
commencement as HOD English Years 7 to 13 next year) has a History major in his degree.<br />
We have received with regret the resignation of Mrs Julia Anstey from her position as HOD<br />
Languages and Classical Studies following her husband’s appointment to a Chair in Philosophy at<br />
Sydney University. Mrs Anstey has been on the staff since 2007 and has been an excellent Head of<br />
Department and teacher and will be missed by students and colleagues.<br />
Mrs Janine Southby has confirmed her acceptance of the position of Coach of the Southern Steel<br />
next year and has therefore to our regret resigned from her permanent part-time position at the<br />
<strong>College</strong> (Mrs Southby has been on leave this year). We have therefore advertised a full-time fixed<br />
term position in Physical Education at the <strong>College</strong> for 2013 (as well as a full-time fixed term position in<br />
Mathematics for 2013). Mrs C. Nicol, Mathematics teacher, is likely to continue on maternity leave<br />
into next year.<br />
