Celebration of Educators at the Zoo
To our heroes!
Thanks for joining the Celebration of Educators at Adelaide Zoo last night! As Lisa-Jane, president of Educators SA, said: “In 2021, you have all once again led the way by assuming your professional responsibility to serve our education community and you should be very proud of all you have continued to achieve in 2021. Hundreds of professional learning events, hundreds of hours of professional learning support and publications, and thousands of connections with educators across the state. Your ongoing commitment to ensuring that the learners of SA have access to the highest quality educators is a credit to you all.”
