Our congratulations to our School Publications Coordinator, Anne Tumak, for her Exceptional Service to the Professional Australian Teachers Association Award.
Anne received the award from Margery Evans, Chief Executive Officer of the Australian Institute for Teaching and School Leadership (AITSL), recently at a function in Sydney.
The following is from her citation:
