Welcome from Fraser

It is my pleasure to welcome you to my blog site. I am thrilled and excited to be the new Principal of Swannanoa and look forward to meeting as many of you as possible over the coming weeks. This blog is a way for busy parents and extended family members to share in the day to day activities and successes of all of us here at Swannanoa School. I will also share some thoughts on education today and occasionally host an opinion poll too.

Try leaving a comment, this is a chance for you to encourage us at school and share some new ideas with us. It is as easy as clicking on the comment bar below and typing your comment.

I will be freely available at school pick-up and drop-off times whenever possible so call in and see me. Don't forget to come along to R7 & 8 at school on Wednesday, July 22 at 7pm to hear about me.

  5. Welcome. Thank you for an interesting evening tonight.
    Our children - Sebastian, Montgomery and Fernando are very enthusiastic about the lunchtime sports. They were also impressed with the novel idea of choosing their "describing" names.
