Two of those staff who have made a difference to so many lives in the College have decided that it is time to move to the next stage of their life and enjoy some family time and a more relaxed pace of life. That is right, Mr and Mrs Wheadon have decided to retire! This won’t happen until 2018 so there will be opportunities for us all to say farewell later in the year. The College is currently looking for their replacements, a very difficult task!

 

Mr Wheadon has been at the College since day one and even before that, he has been part of the leadership team that has built the College from very small beginnings to the wonderful place that it is now. Many of our students have been guided through difficult times, listened to, supported and redirected through Clive’s patience, wisdom, encouragement and expectations. He has supported the staff through difficult times and day-to-day. He has been there for many parents, giving advice and support, walking the journey alongside many of you.  He is always available to support others with a smile on his face and he will be greatly missed.

Mrs Wheadon started in the second year of the College and met Mr Wheadon soon after. Miss Whitelock, as she was then, was one of the College’s first Stage Coordinators and established many programs used in the K – 2 area. Mrs Wheadon then moved into Learning Support where she has been a passionate advocate for children with learning needs at the College.  Many children have gained success at school because of her dedication. Mrs Wheadon also works closely with many parents and is always available to lend a listening ear, wise advice and support.

I’m sure you will join with me in wishing them both well in the coming months and as we celebrate their wonderful contribution to the College.
