After 3 great years at Walters Road Public School, the time has come to move on to a new challenge. I’ve accepted a teaching position at Nangamay Public School - a brand new school in Mulgoa Rise. Looking forward to hitting the ground running early next term!

@lislittlejohn Congratulations Lisa.
Enjoy your well deserved retirement knowing the impact you have had and continue to have on your community, kids and colleagues; showing us all how to respectfully and humbly change peoples lives, mindsets and potential.
Take care and stay in touch.
