Each year schools are invited to recognise the important work their School Administrative and Support Staff (SASS)members do.

Whether working in the office, the library, the school grounds or in a classroom setting, the work the SASS performs is both challenging and vital to education.

A special poem written by teaching staff member, Deidre Cook, was read out at the morning tea which was well received by all who attended.

Janice runs the front office 

And she knows a lot of stuff

She’s always there when you need her

Especially when times are tough

Leanne sits there beside her

And she’s an awesome, kind, old girl

Apart from her funny stories

She’s got those amazing curls

Then there’s Mrs Sewell,

the doctor who lives next door

If you’ve ever got an ailment,

Sewelly’s always got the cure

Donna and Jo, they share their job

They give that front room a buzz

And then we’ve got lovely Tammy

Who’s happy whatever she does

Quite apart from the staff in the office

There’s the other people that help us along

Matt, Vonnie, Chloe, Kerry, Narelle, and Margaret

I’d love to sing for you a song

But for the benefit of our Mr Tilley

I’ll give that treat a miss

Cause I know that it annoys him when I’m

way too loud and silly

If I’ve forgotten a name it’s because I’m getting old

It’s my one and only fault

But if you’ve ever helped any of us

I’m sure you’ve already been told

How much we appreciate each and every one of you

And all that you do in your roles

Thank you

Teaching Staff of Portland Central School
