Dear Buchanan Families 

It has been a great first week at Buchanan School, meeting the amazing staff and your lovely children. The students have been so welcoming and shared with me their favourite things about Buchanan School. Many of the children shared, “Buchanan School is kind” and I couldn’t agree more. A highlight for me this week, was meeting many school volunteers at our volunteer tea. Students showed their appreciation for volunteers through art, song, video and poetry. Students did a brilliant job serving refreshments. Today, many students enjoyed their jumbo freezies. Thank you School Council for organizing this Friday treat for our students. 

I have met many wonderfully friendly parents and families this week and I look forward to continuing to build relationships with the Buchanan School community. 

Have a wonderful weekend. 

Robin (your new principal)
