CONGRATULATIONS TO
INSPIRATIONAL TEACHERS 2016
To inspire girls to become extraordinary women they need to be guided by inspirational staff. At Penrhos College inspirational staff are people exemplary in knowledge (mind), passion (heart), action (body) and character (spirit). All staff at the College are valued for making a difference in, and for, our students and our College. Teaching positions at Penrhos are highly sought after. Our teaching staff demonstrate a willingness to go above and beyond the basic requirements of their roles and many are outstanding educators who consistently demonstrate the College Values. In order to recognise and honour these teachers, allowances for Inspirational Teacher 1 and Inspirational Teacher 2 status have been created at Penrhos College. Applications are accepted annually from eligible teachers and are reviewed by a panel comprised of members of the College leadership groups. Inspirational Teacher status is awarded to those who consistently meet a set of established criteria to a high standard and recognises past achievements and ongoing commitment to the College.
We congratulate the following staff on being acknowledged as Inspirational Teachers for 2016.

Thank you and farewell The College said farewell to two long-serving staff members during Term 1.
CHERYL SIGLEY Mrs Cheryl Sigley has been a hardworking and loyal member of staff for 36 years, serving in a variety of Boarding House roles; most recently as a house mother. Cheryl now joins her husband Ray, who retired from the College after 28 years of service in 2015, to pursue their life after Penrhos. Cheryl will be greatly missed by the Boarding House community and the broader staff.
JOAN MILLER Mrs Joan Miller retired from Penrhos on 8 April, after 34 years with the College. Joan served in both the Secondary and Junior School libraries as Library Technician, providing outstanding levels of service to students and staff throughout her 34 years of service. Joan and her husband Glen (who is a member of the Penrhos Grounds Staff) are great supporters of Penrhos music and drama and we are sure that we will continue to see Joan at future performances.
