 Danny O’BRIEN (Gippsland South) (09:38): A hearty congratulations also to Welshpool primary teacher Chloe Wade, who was one of just three finalists statewide in the Victorian Education Excellence Awards for Outstanding Early Career Primary teacher. Chloe teaches prep and year 1 at Welshpool and is in the fifth year of her teaching career. She has clearly set a high bar, and it shows Welshpool, under principal Gabrielle Boyd, is one of many great small rural schools in Gippsland South.
