Welcome back to school everyone and a special warm welcome to our new defence students and families.

My name is Haylie Stanhope, your DSM - Defence School Mentor.  I will be keeping everyone up to speed with events and information from DMFS (Defence Member and Family Support) through the school newsletter, so watch this space. 

I have worked in this role for a number of years and have enjoyed looking after defence students and their families.  I am available on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays during school hours and can be contacted in person, through the office or by email ...hstanhope@hsstsv.catholic.edu.au

I look forward to meeting our new defence students and families in the next few weeks as well as catching up with our other students and families.

Take Care

Haylie
