Dear Parents and Carers,

Congratulations Mr Clarke

I am delighted to announce that Mr Clarke has recently achieved his Proficient Level Teaching accreditation. This significant milestone reflects his dedication, hard work, and commitment to excellence in education.

Jack is a highly valued member of our teaching staff, consistently demonstrating a deep passion for fostering a supportive and engaging learning environment for our students. His achievement is a testament to his unwavering efforts to provide high-quality education and his continuous pursuit of professional growth.

Achieving Proficient Level accreditation is no small feat. It involves meeting rigorous standards set by NESA, the education authority, showcasing effective teaching practices, and demonstrating a strong impact on student learning. Mr. Clarke has successfully met these criteria, affirming his role as an exceptional educator within our school community.

We are incredibly proud of Mr. Clarke's accomplishment and grateful for the positive influence he has on our students and the broader school community.

Congratulations Jack on this well-deserved achievement.

Additionally, a special thanks to Mrs. Overton for her exceptional leadership in the Wellbeing activities this week. Her efforts have greatly contributed to fostering a positive and supportive environment for our students. We are fortunate to have such committed and talented staff members at Holy Family, and their hard work is deeply appreciated.
