Principal’s Report Professional Learning and Parent Learning
Our teachers and other staff will be attending Professional
Learning on 30th April, which is all about the role that Brain
Development affects the lives of children as they grow up
and become young adults.
The presenter, John Joseph is very inspiring and I am really
looking forward to learning from him. John is also offering a
free workshop for parents while he is in Newcastle. It will
be held at Mayfield West Public School from 6:00-8:00pm
on Thursday 3rd May. I have heard John speak before and it
is well worth the time to listen to his story and to learn
about his work with children.
New Principal at Callaghan College Waratah Technology
Campus
The current principal of Callaghan College Waratah
Technology Campus, Mr Fuller, will be leaving to start his
new position as Director for the Port Stephens schools next
term and I would like to take this opportunity to thank him
for all the work he has done to make our local high school a
fantastic place for our children to learn.
The new principal is Mrs Hayley MacDonald. Mrs
MacDonald has been Deputy Principal at Merewether HS
for some time and brings a wealth of experience with her. She will be supported by the same team that has worked with
Mr Fuller, so the change in leadership should be seamless and lead to even greater things. We wish Mrs MacDonald well
in her new role and look forward to working with her in the coming months.
Building Works
Just a quick reminder to watch for the information booths outside Jesmond Senior Campus and at Stockland Jesmond to
keep up to date with the proposed building works.
School Photos
School photos will be taken on the last day of term, 13th April. Please make sure the children come in full school uniform
on that day. Photo envelopes will be sent home today, and need to be returned on photo day Friday 13 April, to your
teacher. PLEASE DO NOT RETURN ENVELOPES BEFORE THIS DATE. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR CHILDREN HAVE THEIR
PHOTO ENVELOPES ON THE DAY WITH CORRECT MONEY.

Harmony Day at Heaton Park
The Newcastle Harmony Day celebrations, which were washed out recently, will be held this Sunday from 11:00-3:00.
Our children’s art will be on display in the Neighbourhood Centre.
Unsung Hero
Today’s unsung hero is Mrs Dianne Watkins, our relieving School Administration Manager. Mrs Watkins has been
working at Heaton for the past year while Mrs Osmond has been part of the Department’s new software training and
support team.
Di, as we all know her, has been a fantastic smiling face each day and has built a wonderful relationship with the whole-
school community. Mrs Osmond will be returning next term and Di is off to another school to continue the role she is
currently doing. We might see her back at Heaton later in the year but for now, we say farewell and thank her for the
work she has done, the smiles that she has brought and the support she has given me and the other members of our
staff while she has been here.
Favourite food – Chocolate (but not any more after Easter)
Favourite Movie – Age of Adeline
Favourite Book – The Jack Reacher Series
Favourite Holiday – Hawaii (But every holiday is good)
Hobbies – Surfing and Swimming (Also getting dressed up for Halloween)
Pets – A cat called “Pus”
Have a great fortnight and a wonderful term break.
Our teachers and staff return on 30th April but the school will not be open as we are participating in professional
learning away from the school.
Students return on 1st May.
