HEAD
The appointment of Mrs Aristea Synesios to the position of Principal Junior School was announced on the 20th November to a packed SPACe, amidst huge excitement, tears of joy and a standing ovation. The audience, made up of students, teachers, parents, grandparents, family and community members gave a resounding cheer, at the news that Mrs Synesios – a highly respected educator and much loved member of our Parish is now at the helm of our Junior School after experiencing a very difficult year, at both the professional and personal level. Reverend Father Steven Scoutas, Father Sotiri, Mrs Sue Mayson, Parish President and Chair of the Board of Directors together with all the Directors of the Board who were in Sydney on the day, beamed in the front rows. Among those present were Mr Con Livissianis, Mr Elia Economou, Mr George Vlahakis, Mr Anthony Kanaris, Mr Chris Karkoulas, Dr Thomas Savoulis and the Deputy Mayor of Randwick Mr Anthony Andrews. Mrs Synesios was appointed to the position after a thorough and rigorous selection procedure and was unanimously endorsed by the selection panel and Board of Directors. We wish her well in the serious and sacred work she undertakes with every confidence in her skills, abilities and personal attributes. Congratulations Mrs Synesios.
