Our Team…….
Our Chairperson is Jessica Milne. She is honoured to be our new Chairperson of the Parents Teachers Association! Jessica lives in Beachlands with her husband, James, and her two boys: Harry (year 5) and Lachlan (year 3).
This role involves facilitating PTA Meetings, being the face of the PTA, liaising with the Principal and the Board. You will see Jessica at school assemblies advising of our upcoming exciting events and telling the children & parents all about what we have planned.
Feel free to approach her with any suggestions or questions.
