Dear parents and carers,

I am writing to inform you that there is to be a change to your child’s teacher. Mrs Miri McShane will be working on the P/1 Tigers fulltime as of Wednesday 3^rd April, due to Ms Xinman Wang relinquishing her position at our school because of health issues.

Ms Sharni Adderton, who the students know and is also our Drama teacher, will be taking the class on Thursdays and Fridays. Mrs Caroline Corrigan is keen to work with Sharni and both P/1 classes will plan and work closely together throughout the year enabling the students to continue their relationship with Miri.

If you have any concerns or wish to speak with me, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Regards,

Jo Waldon
Principal

Dear parents and carers,

I am writing to inform you that due to some serious health issues, Ms Xinman Wang will be relinquishing her role at Albuera Street and will not be teaching the class from Thursday 28^th March.

Mrs Miri McShane, who has been working on the class on Mondays and Tuesdays this year, will take the class fulltime as of Wednesday 3^rd April. This decision was made to ensure a smooth transition and continuity.

We wish Ms Wang all the best with her health and hope that we will be able to have her back at our school in a relief teaching capacity.

If you have any concerns or wish to speak with me, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Regards,

Jo Waldon
