Woodend School Board of Trustees News Farewell to Adrienne Simpson retiring after 23 years Adrienne Simpson has been part of Woodend School for over 23 years, working in various roles during that time. Adrienne was employed initially to a job share role and later in a full-time capacity. During this time, she taught at various levels of the school leading the Year 3 & 4 Team, Year 5 & 6 Team, and the Year 7 & 8 Team before moving into a more administrative role as DP and lastly as Principal for the past five years.
During this time, Woodend School has grown considerably - there was a time when Adrienne started when the roll was nearing the 200 mark and now today with the roll sitting at 400 with more new entrants to start before the year end. Adrienne has endeavoured to ensure buildings and property are planned and appropriate for the anticipated roll growth. Adrienne has also ensured the continued development of our Cultural Narrative across the school. Cont’d Pg3
