Congratulations goes to Year 8 student Tyan Bell, who received her award for Outstanding Literacy and Attendance, and to Ron Simpson who received the Aboriginal Education Employee Excellence Award.
Tyan is an excellent role model for other Aboriginal students and has shown exceptional leadership qualities for someone so young. She performs with the Yindyamarra Dance group, plays a significant role in the school celebrations and assemblies and constantly strives for improvement.
Ron co-ordinates the school's Aboriginal dance and language group and is a School Learning Support Officer and a driving member of the local AECG. Ron is a wonderful mentor and role model for all students, instilling pride and confidence and in return receiving the utmost respect.
A big thank you goes to Ms Bills who works so hard to ensure Aboriginal Education is an important focus at our school and who accompanied Tyan and Ron to the awards ceremony.
