This week we welcome Vicki Strickland. Vicki has been employed as our Parent Liasion Officer, following a successful application by the Community Council to secure funding to support the growth of our community. The position will run until the end of the year for ten hours per week. Please look out for Vicki as she is keen to be around to meet with parents.

A message from Vicki: My role as Parent Liaison Officer is to support and assist the School and Community Council as we work towards rebuilding the parent community at Mother Teresa School.  I have lived in Canberra, New Zealand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Hobart and Melbourne … but Canberra has always been “home”.  Two of my grandchildren attend Mother Teresa School so I already feel a part of the community here.  I love reading, time with family, knitting, crocheting, and delving into Australia’s past as I research and write the stories of my ancestors.

Vicki will use her time gathering ideas, setting up opportunities for parents to gather, and help to set up a social plan for 2024.
