Dear Candice,

Thank you for your email.

You have been a pleasure to work with this year Candice.

You are extremely positive and supportive of my vision as a school principal.

I believe in quality government school education.

You have supported me and my intent. Thank you.

I also look forward to continuing to work with you.

I think we will be in a meeting together on Tuesday morning with the architects and the VSBA.

Looking forward to seeing you then.

And of course, best wishes to you and your family for Christmas too Candice.
