Farewell and Thank You
We're sad to farewell Robin Gordon and Tracey-Ann Palmer from council at the end of the year, two dedicated and intelligent women who inspire those around them with their passion. Robin has spearheaded the development of new syllabus resources, providing teachers with implementation guides and programming templates while Tracey has been involved in several PD events this year. It's not goodbye, it see you soon!
