 John LISTER (Werribee) (12:25): As a former teacher, I have a passion for innovation in the way that we teach and support young people at school. This year I introduced my innovators award for staff who roll out a program or change at a school that improves teaching and learning. While there are a few more awards nights to go – as all MPs know, it is award nights season – I want to congratulate the following winners: the refugee education support program implementation team, Francis Lockyer, Serena Ripari and Hsa Mu Hen Tun at Werribee Secondary College; Claudia Squires from Good News Lutheran College in Mambourin; and the teaching and learning team, accepted by Angela Landy at Christway College on behalf of them.
