“Today I am pleased to acknowledge three outstanding individuals, each who have dedicated more than 40 years of service to the advancement of education in the ACT,” Ms Burch said.

“I see in school staff the best qualities of our ACT Public Service, and I would like to congratulate these education professionals for their commitment and dedication to their profession, their students and their community.”
