The award celebrates the care, flexibility, and support our school community has provided Brittny as she pursues this opportunity, along with her achievements as a reservist.
Winning against such a competitive field of public sector organisations is an outstanding achievement — and now we’re off to Sydney, NSW to represent SA in the National Awards against winners from across Australia! 🇦🇺✨
