Working at the School of Army Aviation in Oakey

Queensland where he is employed as a Flying

Instructor on the MRH 90 Taipan Helicopter.

The last ‘SCOOP’ of the year celebrates Presentation Evening and

our Mindfulness Day. Students this week on Monday celebrated the

hard work and learning they have been involved in. Students

watched a movie in the morning and spent the rest of the day in

team activities, also competing against the teachers in the afternoon.

I have been successful in my appointment as the permanent

Principal of Batlow Technology School. I look forward to working with

your children and yourselves in making their school life a success.

I wish all parents, carers and students a well-earned rest, safe

holidays and a Merry Christmas. Take care and travel safely if you are on the roads over

the holiday period.

Thank you to all the staff at Batlow Technology School for your continued support of the

students at our school. I would also like to thank the community members who assist and

support our school.
