Good Shepherd College, VIC
Congratulations to Good Shepherd College on winning an Australian Teacher Aide Appreciation Week Morning Tea, valued at $150!
Good Shepherd College (winner 2 years running!) celebrated their amazing teacher aide team in a number of creative and fun ways. Sue Shimmin, teacher, said both campuses hosted a morning tea in celebration of their TA teams. The Junior Campus played the video they made with students in assembly, and plants with the words "thanks for helping me grow" and cards with student fingerprints were presented to all teacher aides. The Senior Campus hosted a special assembly to celebrate the teacher aides during Appreciation Week. Gifts were presented and a prayer was said by students. In addition, a song was written and courageously performed by two talented, fun loving teaching staff, aka The Bright Socks Bros. What's more, the teachers did all the duties normally covered by teacher aides for the week ... in addition to their usual duties!! Well done, Good Shepherd College. You are absolute stars, and we are sure the TAs appreciate all your efforts to recognise theirs!
