When teachers arrived at back at St Vincent’s Primary School, Aranda for their first day of face-to-face teaching since beginning remote learning, they were greeted with a lovely surprise.

The parent community had gifted staff with a variety of teas to say thank you for their efforts during the period of remote learning.

Parents praised staff for their resilience and for never giving up, despite the challenges of the last few months.

“It is truly gratifying, knowing that we have had, and continue to have, the support of our families,” said Lina Vigliotta, Principal at St Vincent’s. “St Vincent’s is truly a place where lasting friendships are made.”

“We are now drinking copious cups of tea!”
