It is with a heavy heart each year that we farewell staff. Our staff form an integral part of the Calliope State School's family, and we are always saddened by their departure. 

This year we have 6 staff members leaving us:

Rebecca Wilkinson, current classroom teacher for the last 4 years at Calliope State School. She is moving out to Blackwater to be with family and have a change. She is a wonderful teacher who will be dearly missed. We wish Rebecca all the best for the years to come. 

Mrs Bartlem, one of our lovely teacher aides for the last 31 years is going on leave for 2022 with the intention of retiring. She is finally going to enjoy some time to herself. We wish you all the best for the future Mrs Bartlem. 

Jessica Switzer, our current classroom teacher for the past 8 years has received a transfer to a school in Brisbane to be closer to family. Another fantastic teacher with more memories to be made. 

Tim Kerr, our current music teacher started his teaching career with us in 2015 and has decided to head to the private sector in 2022. We Thank you, Tim for all the work and support you have given Calliope State school with your time here and wish you all the best. 

Eileen, our school cleaner has been a part of our team for the last few years. She has cleaned our classrooms, offices and surrounds tirelessly each and everyday with 110% committment and effort. She is on the move to South East Qld to be with her gandbabies. We will miss you, Girlfriend! 

Finally, Mrs Holland who came to Calliope State School and worked as a Teacher Aide for nearly 30 years, is retiring in 2021. Mrs Holland worked tirelessly with many students throughout her time at Calliope State School. Mrs Holland continued to go above and beyond for all students, the time she invested has never gone unnoticed from staff and the students that she supported in her years of teacher aiding. She is enjoying some time to herself gardening and with her loved ones. 

We wish all the staff leaving in 2021 all the best and a safe move.
