Just a brief note to introduce myself, my name is Matthew Jago, and I will be acting Principal whilst Ms Woodberry has commenced a period of personal leave. I feel very honoured to be given the opportunity to work with such a strong community that is here at East Devonport Primary School. Growing up in Devonport and then raising my own family here I am very aware of the special place that East Devonport holds in the greater Devonport area.

Our focus as a staff is to make sure the day-to-day running of East Devonport is as settled, organised and supportive as possible. Term 1 will be extremely busy for our students with an athletics carnival to look forward to this week and school camps coming up.

I look forward to meeting our community throughout my time here and will leave you with the strong message that every day of education really matters. It is essential that children come to school every day on time, as we know good attendance leads to good progress.

Matthew Jago.
