Huge thanks to all the parents who cooked for our Baked with Love fundraiser this week. We had a mammoth stall and knocked our fundraising goal out of the park! Special thanks to the secondary students who manned the stall at recess and lunch, as well as the Prep Service Team, who accompanied our youngest students to the sale to assist them with their transactions.
All proceeds will go towards our Compassion Sponsor Child and Operation Christmas Child. 💚
(Check your Friday Broadcast for the total raised).

Farewell Mr Ramsay // Last week we farewelled our principal Mr Mark Ramsay. The special assembly on Wednesday was a wonderful opportunity to reflect on the last three years of his service to our school community, and both staff and students had the opportunity to share great memories and stories of impact. There was plenty of laughter and tears.
Then, on Friday, Mr Ramsay marked the conclusion of his Kuyper journey with a traditional ringing of the Kuyper bell. While it is never easy to say goodbye, we are grateful for Mark's leadership and his commitment to the growth of our students. As he moves on to this next chapter, we thank Mark for his faithful service and pray that God continues to guide and bless him as he embarks on a new journey with St Phillips Christian College, Port Stephens.
Mr Tim White and Ms Cassie Dixon step into Acting Principal roles from today until mid-January, when Mr Bill Rusin will join us in a twelve-month interim Principal role. Find out more about our 2025 plans on our website – kuyper.nsw.edu.au/2025-principal-announcement/

Thank you for all you hard work for our community Mark. The way the kids spontaneously ran up to hug you on that last day was a testament to the wonderful rapport you had with them. Your next school is so blessed to have you and you will be greatly missed at Kuyper.
We will miss you so much Mark. Wyatt was devastated to hear you were leaving, but we are so happy for your new sea change opportunity. All the best!
Go with Gods grace Mark

Nice work.
30 Years of Service // This week, our Office Manager, Mrs Tina Vander Reyden, celebrated 30 years of faithful service at Kuyper! Steadfastness and servant-heartedness have been the hallmarks of Tina's service to the school. She is one of the most well-known faces by current and past families. Ex-students' first question when they visit the school is almost always – "Is Mrs Vander Reyden still here?".
Over the past three decades, Tina has manned the front desk solo, established our first electronic student database, organised untold camps and excursions, ensured everyone gets paid, and organised, reassured, listened and supported staff, students and parents in a myriad of ways!
Tina has been willing to do whatever job needed doing – willingly, diligently, and lovingly. We owe her an immeasurable debt of gratitude.
Congratulations Tina! What a blessing you are!
