Natalie SULEYMAN (St Albans – Minister for Veterans, Minister for Small and Family Business, Minister for Employment, Minister for Tourism) (14:53): I rise to congratulate and acknowledge the service of seven exceptional teachers in my community who have been recently recognised at the Recognition of Service awards. Recognised for 45 years of service was Frank Brancatisano from St Albans Meadows Primary School. Recognised for 40 years of service were Beverly Baka and Maria Fletcher from Victoria University Secondary College; Michael Bowden, Joseph De-Gabriele and Craig Jennings from St Albans Secondary College; and Emilia Rio from St Albans Meadows Primary School. Congratulations to you all, and thank you for your dedication and service to our students over many, many decades in the St Albans community. We value the work you do each and every day and the commitment you provide not only for our students but also for the families of St Albans. You mean so much to us and on most days go beyond the call of your service. We are absolutely grateful for your work and, as I said, dedication to our students, from the early to the later years of their journey, and also for your support of our families, school councils and the school community in St Albans. Congratulations to you all, and thank you very much on behalf of the St Albans electorate.
