2024 Yearbook

I would like to thank the College Leadership team of Mrs Wright, Mr Morton, Mrs McInerney, Mr Mergard and Mrs Woods. Their leadership, creativity and ongoing support is much valued.

Thank you to the Hennessy staff who are a very special group. They are talented, professional and hardworking and go above and beyond to do the best for the students in their care.

This year we began our Classroom Mastery journey. This involved consistent classroom routines across the school. The goal has been to ensure that classrooms are safe and orderly places where productive learning can occur. I love taking families who are enrolling their children around the College. I am always confident that no matter which classroom or time of day, I know that I will see focused and settled classrooms. I would like to thank the Hennessy staff and students for their support of this program. This year we bid a fond farewell to several staff who have each made an enormous contribution to the Hennessy community over their time here. Congratulations to Mr Andrew Morton who has been appointed as Principal of Santa Teresa School in the Northern Territory. Mr Morton will be missed as being a friendly, caring and supportive colleague and leader. Mrs Emily Yeo joined Hennessy in 2022. She has been a much-loved teacher who will be greatly missed, she successfully combines professionalism with a supportive environment where her students feel welcome and valued. Mrs Anna Cusack joined the Inclusive Education department at Hennessy in 2020. Mrs Cusack will be fondly remembered for the caring support of the students she works with as well as being a thoughtful and generous colleague. Ms Philippa Butcher joined the Hennessy teaching staff last year. Ms Butcher has a strong passion for Science which she shares with her students. She is to be commended for the outstanding work she has done in making her lessons both engaging and informative.

Farwell to Miss Joy Cass who has been a valuable of the Inclusive Education team. She has shown a genuine commitment to supporting the students she has worked with in 2024.

Miss Camille Carberry steps back into a full teaching role after being the Leader of Mathematics. Miss Carberry is to be congratulated on her management of a dynamic and successful maths department. Thank you Miss Carberry for your work in this role.

Thank you to Mrs Hill who has shared the leadership of the Creative Arts Faculty. Mrs Hill’s passion for the arts and her creativity have added much to the department.

I am really looking forward to great things in 2025. We have some very exciting new initiatives planned to further enhance student learning and wellbeing at Hennessy

Finally, I would like to extend my most sincere wishes to everyone in the Hennessy community for a happy and special Christmas and a relaxing break.

God bless
