LOCAL TEACHERS PRAISED BY MP
■ Eastern Metropolitan MLC Bruce Atkinson has used a spot in State Parliament to praise local teachers. “ I just want to comment on the fact that there have been many people who have contributed a great deal to the support of people in our community during the pandemic process and the lockdowns and so forth—so many first responders who have done exceptional work, often in very challenging circumstances—but I particularly want to reflect today as we draw to the end of the year and the close of the school year on the work of teachers,” Mr Atkinson told the Legislative Council. “There has been a remarkable effort by the people involved in our education sector in the work that they have had to do and the extra effort and commitment that they have had to apply, and they are already very dedicated people, those people who are educators in our community. “But there was extra effort that they had to put in this year in developing different ways of both providing the learning opportunities for students and also in many cases providing significant support to those students and their families. “It is a remarkable effort that so many teachers have put in. I think it would be remiss of us if we did not acknowledge as a Parliament the commitment and the efforts of those teachers right throughout our education system in these past two years, but obviously I reflect especially on 2021 at this time.” ● This is the final issue of The Local Paper for 2021. Our office is closed for summer holidays, and will re-open on Thursday, January 27. First weekly issue for 2022 will be published on Wednesday, February 2.
