FAREWELL TO SHEDA
It is with sadness that we farewell Sheda Madladji. Sheda has been at Albany Primary School for six and a half years as an English Language Assistant (ELA) in our ESOL Department and during her time at Albany has assisted hundreds of students gain confidence with their english language skills. Sheda’s calm and caring nature will be missed by the staff and students. Her last day is next Friday 17th May. We wish Sheda all the very best in her new position as an English Language teacher/ Kaiako at Te Wananga o Aotearoa/Dynaspeak.
PARENT HELP NEEDED AT YEAR 5/6 CAMP – Day Helpers
We are desperately seeking parent helpers at our Year 5/6 camp on Monday 10th and Tuesday 11th June. We would love to have more day helpers. You do not need to have students attending the camp to be a helper. You may also know of family members and friends that may wish to assist. Please contact either Shari Turner (sturner@albany.school.nz) or Desirae Lagerwall (dlagerwall@albany.school.nz).
