Staffing Changes at PPN

We have a few upcoming changes in regards to our staffing at Prescott Primary Northern.

Mrs Cheryl Allen, who has been working as a SSO at PPN since 2009, is retiring at the end of this term. Mrs Allen has been an amazing support to staff and students and has made such a positive impact on many lives through her gentle and loving approach. She oozes kindness and pours love into every individual she works with. We will miss Mrs Allen around the school and wish her all the best in her retirement years. You are one in a million, Mrs Allen! 

Mrs Carol Westbury will be replacing Mrs Allen for the remainder of the year. Mrs Westbury joined our staffing team at the beginning of the year and looks forward to extending her role in our school community.

Ms Neisha Perkins has been working as an SSO in Foundation A on a Friday this year. We have valued her time and energy with the Foundation students and we wish her all the best as she has completed her education studies and takes up a highschool teaching position in Term 4.

Mrs Emily Ksiazkiewicz has been replacing Ms Perkins while she was on teaching placement this term, and will take her place in Term 4 in Foundation A. Thank you, Mrs Ksiazkiewicz!

Mr Isaac Sharath has been a faithful groundsman for the past year at PPN, particularly looking after our beautiful Nature Play Space. Isaac will be leaving us for another wonderful job opportunity and we wish him all the best. Mr Stephen Tabe, who is one of bus drivers, is kindly filling in for Isaac for the remainder of the year. Our school community look forward to seeing you more often, Stephen!

Class Placement Considerations

We are currently working on class placements for 2021. There are many factors that go into making decisions about class placements and we use a program to try to balance the many competing demands. We are unable to guarantee requests will be granted, but if there is some extenuating circumstance you would like considered for your child, please email Mark Borresen (markborresen@ppn.sa.edu) by October 16, 2020.

Parking Around The School

1. Parking out the front of the school- 
We are noticing a lot of parents parking in the front area of the school, walking to the single gate and dropping off, only to return to the car minutes later and reversing out into traffic. We understand the convenience but parking here and reversing out is stopping the flow of traffic from the drive through zone. We are asking that if you are walking your child onto our school grounds or collecting them in the afternoons, please use the back car park.

2. Keeping the car park entrance clear
As mentioned in a hand out, it is very important that you please do not park in the entrance to the back car park. If the drive through line is full, please wait with your left indicator flashing while on Nelson Road. When the line starts to move, then feel free to move into the drive through zone but please don't block the car park entrance.

3. Turning left only out of car parks and drive through
In peak times, when families wait and try to turn right onto Wright Road from the drive through, it again, slows the whole drive through down - often to a complete stop. We are asking kindly that you turn left only out the drive through onto Wright Road. 

4. Side gate reopened! 
We have cleared the temporary storage near the Front Office and are happy to open this walkway again to allow an alternative entrance, rather than going through the Front Office.

Please remember the current restrictions still in place (No adults entering classrooms unless you sign on in the Front Office).

We hope to continue to develop the parking around the school so it runs as smoothly as possible.
