St Albans electorate teachers
Natalie SULEYMAN (St Albans – Minister for Veterans, Minister for Small Business, Minister for Youth) (10:47): I rise today to thank the incredible teachers in my electorate of St Albans, and in particular I would like to congratulate a number of teachers who have received recognition for their long-serving careers. Congratulations on 40 years of service to Sally Jones and Ian Young from St Albans North Primary School, Kenneth Griffiths from St Albans Heights Primary School, Leanne Johnstone from St Albans Meadows Primary School and Ian Narracott from Cairnlea Park Primary School. And finally, a big congratulations on 55 years of service to Steve Crockford. Steve is the principal at St Albans Meadows Primary School. He is passionate and dedicated to the public education system. Of course combined there are 255 years of service.
We are absolutely indebted to our school teachers and principals in the electorate of St Albans. They have dedicated their time, their passion and their commitment to making sure that our little learners get the best start and to shaping generations of young people. The Andrews Labor government will always support our teachers and our school community, because we know how integral they are to our communities and, most importantly, to the students’ journey. I thank all of the teachers, in particular those who have served for many, many years, for their service.
