A Tribute to Anna - Share your Memories

Since the announcement of Anna Scott’s retirement, we’ve been deeply touched by the outpouring of love, kind words, and heartfelt stories shared by so many in our community. It is clear that Anna’s presence has left a lasting imprint on the hearts of children, parents, and colleagues alike across her remarkable 32-year journey at our school.

To honour Anna’s legacy and the deep affection in which she is held, we will be creating a book of memories for her. This will be a collection of photos, drawings, and written reflections from throughout the years—a gift that reflects the love, gratitude, and joy she brought into our lives.

If you have a memory to share, whether it’s a story, a quote, a message from your child, or a special photograph, we warmly invite you to contribute. It might be a recollection of one of her beloved puppet plays, a moment of comfort, or simply the way her soft voice and kind words made you or your child feel seen and held.

Please send your contributions to lpayne@pws.wa.edu.au by the end of term 2, so I can compile this keepsake book for Anna. Please spread the word to those who do not receive the Pabulum anymore or who are not on social media.

This book will serve as a small gesture of our deep appreciation—a way to say thank you for the magic she brought to our community and to wish her well on her next chapter.

Djeran in Marri Miah Garden

On sunlit mornings the Cuddlepies begin the morning in the garden, playing and gardening.

Last week we planted potatoes, digging deep into the earth, gently placing them in the ground and covering them over with a wish. The Cuddlepies then eagerly watered them and lovingly covering the soft earth with mulch. We will eagerly wait for the seeds to wake up and begin growing, hopefully the rain fairies will visit our garden soon.

In other parts of the garden the sweet potatoes and carrots are nearly ready to harvest, which will be added to meals throughout the day. The roses are slowly fading as the weather cools and the Quendas and Djidi Djidis visit us each day, bringing much wonder and joy. 

Much love Jessica and Kelly
