month! On 1st September our annual Awards program culminated with the much anticipated announcement of the 2022 Australian Teacher Aide of the Year and the Australian Teacher Aide Team of the Year. Please join us in congratulating Kerry Walker of Wedderburn College in Victoria and the Team Tally Teacher Aides from Tallebudgera State School who won the individual and team awards, respectively. We are looking forward to meeting with the winners, finalists and highly commended nominees next month to learn more about their achievements. </p><p style="margin:0;mso-line-height-alt:16.8px"> </p><p style="margin:0;mso-line-height-alt:16.8px"> We also hosted our other major annual event, Australian Teacher Aide Appreciation Week, from 29th August to 2nd September. This event continues to grow each year and, along with the Awards, draws the attention of school leaders, teachers and others in the school community to the important contribution education support staff make to student learning and wellbeing. Congratulations to Good Shepherd College in Victoria for winning a morning tea valued at $100 for their creative competition entry, submitted by Sue Shimmin, a teacher at the college who also looks after staff welfare. </p><p style="margin:0;mso-line-height-alt:16.8px"> </p><p style="margin:0;mso-line-height-alt:16.8px"> Earlier this month, prior to state and federal education ministers attending a round table conference to address teacher workloads and staff shortages, ATA took the opportunity to brief them on the work we are leading to develop the Australian Standards for Paraprofessional Educators in Schools.
