On-going professional development is a high priority for Mrs Triglone who has recently completed a Graduate Diploma of Psychology. “I hope that by continuing my own education I am giving students a good example of how education is a life long endeavour. The diploma itself also gives me a greater background to ensure that here at St Mary’s we strive top enhance the development of the whole child.”
As a long time resident of Bellingen prior to her promotion to Principal, Mrs Triglone recognises the need for strong links between the school and community.
This year a new programme is in place to encourage regular visits from local pre-school children and their parents. The preschoolers have enjoyed visits from the Kindergarten/Year One class for story time. They have also visited St Mary’s to participate in special music and movement classes particularly designed for them and take part in International Day to celebrate the many cultures of Australia.
“Hopefully these visits will help children and their families to feel like a part of St Mary’s community before they even start Kindergarten,” said Mrs Triglone “We have also added wonderful celebrations for Father’s Day, Mothers’ Day and Seniors’ Day to our school calendar to encourage a warm and loving sense of community.”
Mrs Triglone says that her main goals are to maintain St Mary’s fine reputation for education while developing an open and accommodating relationship with the parent community. She hopes that St Mary’s becomes known for its climate of dignity and respect where everyone receives a ‘fair go’.
St Mary’s, whish is happy to accommodate requests for school tours or for general enquiries at ph. 6655 1432, is now open for enrolments for 2009.
