\"\"Dear Year 8 families and girls,<\/p>\n

It is with great sadness that I write my final newsletter.<\/p>\n

Thank you all so much for your support, assistance, communication, and kindness over the last\u2026..well, few years for some of you and ten years for others. I have been so lucky to be a part of a community that values strength, courage, pride and personal achievement in our students and has allowed me to be able to be a small part in their varying and yet fabulous journeys.<\/p>\n

Thank you for putting up with my sports analogies, my dubious sense of humour, and my loud cheering (especially at sporting events); for entrusting me and sharing your stories and worries with me. I am so sorry to say goodbye to you all, as you have given me so much in both my career and personally, and for all of this I sincerely say thank you.<\/p>\n

It is with excitement however, that I can introduce Emily Marsh<\/strong> as your new Head of Year 8 for 2024. I have done a great handover with Emily this week and I know she is ready to go! Please contact her next term if you have any concerns you wish to raise with her. I am sure you will enjoy her eloquent newsletters, which coming from an English teacher will be an improvement on my old sport head!!<\/p>\n

So, again and finally \u2013\u00a0thank you\u00a0\u2013 you will all be missed greatly and if you see me out there in the world please stop and say hello!<\/p>\n

Have a safe and wonderful break.<\/p>\n

– Kylie Bickerstaff<\/em><\/strong>
