Teachers outstanding service recognised
TWO teachers from Atherton State High School were recognised for their “outstanding service” at the school’s presentation night recently.
Each year, the school celebrates two staff members who have provided outstanding service over many years and this year it was Margaret Selby and Matthew Lawrence who were recognised.
Mr Lawrence is the Head of Department for The Arts and has dedicated 24 years to the Atherton school, while Ms Selby is the Business Manager and has been at the school 19 years.
“It has been so difficult to select only two people for these awards as we have so many extremely dedicated staff members,” school principal Leanne Knight-Smith said.
“I am proud and honoured to be working with some of the best educators and support staff that I have ever had the privilege to work alongside.
“Thank you, both Margaret and Matthew, for your unwavering service, compassion, and belief in the potential of each student who walks through our doors.
“We honour you not only for the years you have given, but for the lasting legacy you leave within our community,” she said.
