Gabrielle WILLIAMS (Dandenong – Minister for Transport Infrastructure, Minister for Public and Active Transport, Minister for Women and Girls) (12:51): I return to some common sense with my contribution. I rise to recognise an extraordinary local educator, Jenny Mackay, whose dedication to students, families and the broader Dandenong community has changed countless lives. Jenny was recently awarded a Medal of the Order of Australia in recognition of her outstanding contribution to education, and it is a fitting recognition for someone who has spent more than four decades ensuring that every child, regardless of their background or their circumstances, has the opportunity to succeed. Over her almost 50-year teaching career, including 36 years at Dandenong North Primary School, Jenny helped develop innovative programs to support newly arrived migrant and refugee students to learn English, engage with the curriculum and build confidence in their new home. Jenny has always understood that educational success cannot be separated from wellbeing, and she has always placed belonging and community connection at the forefront of student life and student learning. Although Jenny has now retired from her position at Dandenong North Primary School, the impact of her work can be seen across our community in the many, many former students who have gone on to build successful lives, careers and families of their own. Even in retirement, she continues to give back, now supporting students at Dandenong High School. We congratulate Jenny and know well her contribution and what it means to my community.
