MICHELLE WHITING

Ms JENNY AITCHISON (Maitland—Minister for Regional Transport and Roads)—Congratulations to Michelle Whiting for her high commendation in the recent Australian Teacher Aide of the Year Award. Michelle is a passionate teacher's aide who has been recognised for enhancing students' growth and wellbeing. Michelle provides literacy support for both primary and secondary school students. Michelle's colleagues praise her for her dedication to professional growth and her drive to best support students through her work. Her student's clear pattern of improvement, at an increased rate, following her support is clear evidence of her impact. Michelle has worked as a learning support officer at OneSchool Global, East Maitland for 15 years, starting in 2008, and over that time has played a critical role in student learning within the classroom. Michelle has seen a massive growth in the school since it's opening. When she began it was made up of an old building and only three demountables. The school is now unrecognisable with a new permanent building, however the heart of the school remains the same. Congratulations Michelle for your achievements and thank you for your contribution to the children of the Maitland community.
