Today, we celebrated in true Unley PS style (read that as with morning tea!) the work of our wonderful team of School Services Officers, or SSOs as we call them.

Our team of SSOs are an invaluable part of our community.   The support they provide us all – children, teachers and parents, is important and far reaching.

Their role encompasses a wide range of jobs from greeting visitors and families at the front desk, to working in classrooms with individual and small groups of children to support learning, to being an ear for a child who is not well or is having a not-so-good day.  Many sandwiches are made, dry jumpers found in the spare clothes cupboard, shoelaces done up, bandages applied, stories typed up and printed, a special book found on the library shelf – the list is endless.

To Annie, Jane, Amanda, Kathy, Ian, Tenille, Brianna, Tan, Sharon, Manda, Julie W, Anne, Alex and Katerina, we say an enormous THANK YOU!
