Defence
My name is Zita Whiteside, I'm excited to be your DSM (Defence School Mentor). I will be keeping everyone up to date with events and information from DMFS (Defence Member and Family Support) through the school newsletter.
I have worked for over fifteen years at Holy Spirit and know many defence families already and am looking forward to meeting many more. I’ve previously worked in this role and have enjoyed the opportunity to assist defence students and their families. I’m available on Mondays to Wednesdays during school hours and can be contacted in person, through the office or by email zwhiteside@hsstsv.catholic.
Over the next few days I will be going around to the classrooms and introducing myself to the students.
I will also be restarting the Defence Club program. (More information will be available shortly).
