BSSC includes an incredible group of committed people who possess a range of talents.
Within our team of Education Support (ES) staff, you will find individuals in a variety of roles working together to make the college a truly great place for students to thrive.
Education Support Personnel Day is observed annually on May 16. Today, staff came together for morning tea to celebrate the efforts of BSSC’s diverse ES team.
Principal, Kylie Hand, said, “Our ES staff work incredibly hard every day to complement the work of our teachers and leaders, and contribute directly to student outcomes.
“The expertise, knowledge and care that sits within these teams is exceptional—we are so very lucky to have them.”
