Dear Reservoir Community,

Thank you to Helen Miller

Helen Miller announced her retirement from the Victorian Education Department last week.

Helen has made an enormous impact on thousands of children across her 35 years at Reservoir Primary, and created a legacy which will be felt for many years to come. In Helen’s time as Principal, our school grew in enrolment, changed dramatically in the make up of its children and families, was completely refurbished and re-built, and ushered in new curriculum, new technology and many new programs. Helen has ensured that, year after year, our students meet or exceed literacy and numeracy benchmarks, and through her leadership, ensured our students have the best start to life.

We thank Helen and wish her all the best in her hard earned retirement (I know you hate that word Helen!). The community thanked Helen today at assembly and in classrooms she visited, and we as a staff will formally thank her next term.
