Dear Gympie Special School community,

I am very happy to be returning to Gympie Special School as Deputy Principal. Chrissie Hansen has done a wonderful job as Acting Deputy in my absence and I would like to extend a sincere thank you to her. We are very fortunate to have Chrissie staying on at Gympie Special School in 2023.

I have been away from the school for almost 12 months, working as Deputy Principal at James Nash State High and Coolum State School. It is an exciting time to be returning, and I am looking forward to be a part of the school community again.

As Deputy Principal, I am committed to supporting our students in their academic, social, and emotional growth. I believe that every student has unique strengths and challenges, and it is our responsibility to help them reach their full potential.

I am also very happy to be working with our dedicated staff who are committed to delivering high-quality education and care to our students. I have no doubt that we will continue to work together to develop innovative strategies and approaches that will enable our students to succeed.

Kind regards,

Rachael
