In this week's edition of Panaga School Weekly, we provide you with staffing updates as we begin to prepare for the transition of academic school years. Firstly, we would like to thank and acknowledge our outgoing teachers: Mr Mark, Miss Jackie, Miss Kate, Miss Louise C, Miss Miriam, Mr Sha, Miss Suzanne and Miss Sue. We extend tremendous thanks to all of you for your positive contributions to the Panaga School teaching team and wish you the very best in your respective “next chapters”. Senior leadership changes Mr Mark will be departing Panaga School at the end of this academic year, with a local career move that will be announced in the near future. Mr Mark joined Panaga School as Head Teacher in February 2018 and during this time has been a most welcoming, friendly school leader, based at Mendaram and Rampayoh. More recently, Mr Mark has delivered Humanities teaching in Melilas, while continuing to lead the assessment and reporting delegations across the school from the Teraja and Melilas site.
From being a British gentleman at International Day to the Big Friendly Giant cindybintahal@panagaschool.com (BFG) during Book Week, it has been a pleasure working with you, Mr Mark. Your calm and compassionate leadership has been appreciated and we wish you and your lovely family the very best for the new academic year.
Head Teacher: Mark Walters
