Early in Term One of this year, I was nominated and elected as Anakie primary school’s new School Council President.
Hi, I am Jess, and here is a little about me. My husband and I have been living in Anakie for almost 19 years.
We have lived in two different houses and share 2 daughters. Our eldest daughter, Charlie, graduated from Anakie PS in 2021 and our younger daughter, Ava, is in Grade 5.
In the earlier days of living in Anakie I was one of the co-managers at the local shop for a couple of years, then after the girls arrived, we loved being part of the local playgroups at the Community House.
We enjoy getting out and about walking, riding our bikes, and exploring the Brisbane Ranges and You Yangs as a family.
As I navigate this new role in the school and community, I look forward to getting to know the many new families that have enrolled their children this year at Anakie PS and prospective families that may be new to the area, have children starting foundation in 2024, or other families that are just looking for a smaller, more community-based, school for their children to learn and thrive. I welcome and encourage feedback and input from all regarding our school and school council.
I am very much looking forward to the upcoming Bunnings BBQ fundraiser, this is always a fun day and a great fundraiser for the school.
Also, the School’s open day on June the 16th.Come along and say hi.
Jess Capon
Anakie Primary School Council President.
