HALT NSW 2023

Ms JENNY AITCHISON (Maitland—Minister for Regional Transport and Roads)—Congratulations to the remarkable educators of Maitland and surrounding communities in achieving the Highly Accomplished and Lead Teacher (HALT) accreditation. The HALT Recognition Ceremony held annually recognises and celebrates the hard work, dedication and achievement of NSW teachers who have attained HALT accreditation. Belinda Lantry from Rutherford Public School, Teliah Buckton from Rutherford Technology High School and Thomas Walker from Millers Forest Public School each received their HALT medal on World Teacher's Day on October 27 from the Minister for Education, the Hon. Prue Car at NSW Parliament. The HALT accreditation requires applicants to meet 37 different teaching standards. Passing these requisites stands as a testament of each accredited educator's well-rounded and exceptional practices. Well done Belinda, Teliah and Thomas on your significant achievement and thank you for your unwavering commitment in nurturing and developing our precious young people each and every day.
