Dear Parents and The Bombay Community,

Mrs Brown informed the new Board on Tuesday night that she will be leaving at the end of this year.

After 20 years of professional service to this school and community, Mrs Brown will be changing gears to focus on her grandchildren.  Mrs Brown has prepared a video for you to watch.  We encourage everyone to view the video.

At an appropriate time, we will inform the community of the arrangements for a fitting farewell for Mrs Brown.

Last night the Board and I expressed our sadness at the news but also our full support to her.  We've known for a while that this was on the cards.  The Senior Leadership Team have been working quietly behind the scenes to ensure a smooth transition when the time comes.   - Paul Petersen
