Staff Farewell Deborah Bennett
At the beginning of this year, St Paul’s bid a fond farewell to Junior School teacher, Deborah Bennett, who retired following fifteen years of service. Over that time she worked across a number of grades, particularly enjoying her time in Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten. Deborah was known by staff to be highly collaborative, skilled and committed. She has a calm and caring manner with children and developed strong, respectful relationships with parents in our school. We are grateful that Deborah remains a part of our school community with her son, Tom, currently in the Junior School. “My fondest memories were of the children treasuring the Bibles they received in Kindergarten and engaging with them every day.
It was wonderful to be a part of the Kindergarten team for the first few years. I grew as a teacher by increasing my knowledge of the importance of play-based learning. Seeing the children flourish in this environment and develop a love for learning about God’s world was just amazing. Teaching the IB through the Primary Years Programme was also a highlight. Providing children with a global perspective and an awareness that they can impact their world is vital for a future of peace and acceptance.” Deborah Bennett
