                       Acknowledging our Outstanding School Support Staff

This week we formally recognise the wonderful contribution School Support Staff make to our school community. It is a time to celebrate their vital and skilled work in supporting staff and students. Support Staff undertake a wide range of roles in our school, focussed either around administration or curriculum support.
As admin support officers they help to coordinate, plan and run a wide range of school functions e.g. looking after student medications, diabetes management, the grounds, organising special functions, monitoring facilities, tracking our finances and much, much more, the list is endless.
Curriculum support includes keeping our library functioning well, managing our ICT network, running the canteen, providing special needs support and working with large and small groups of students as well as providing one on one tutoring for others. The skills dedication and energy that our Support Staff bring to their work in assisting student learning and wellbeing makes a significant difference to student achievement.
Best of all, support staff at Ardtornish work as a collaborative team sharing roles and generously stepping into support each other and staff as the need arises. On behalf of the whole school community we would like to express the appreciation we have for each and everyone of them.  Absent Tayla Uren. Mark & Deb.
