2021 Staff

Recognition Award

The Bullock Award is given to a staff member who exudes

all the qualities that we value at our school. Each year a

staff member is put forward by their colleagues to be con-

sidered for this award.

This year the award is going to a teacher.

This teacher has a great love of learning, not only for her

students, but also for herself.

She is passionate about improving children’s literacy; she

has implemented a whole school approach to writing called

the Big Write program; a creative way to improve student

vocabulary and punctation when writing. Have you seen

her punch out her Kung Foo Punctuation moves?

She introduced The Casey Caterpillar handwriting program

as a way to teach Prep and Year 1 children handwriting

skills.

She advocated for the purchase of Literacy Pro as a way to

engage children in reading. She actively monitors children

and many children have received Lit Pro Awards at our

weekly assembly. This program has proven to improve stu-

dent’s reading ability significantly. We attribute our great

Naplan Reading results to this program.

Have you worked out who it is?

She finds creative ways to make learning engaging and lots

of fun. She has dressed up (even in a funny wig), put eyes

on bushes around the school, made a secret door in the gar-

den and made ice cream cone trees and all sorts of other

delicious foods for the children to try as part of their learn-

ing. Her classroom is full of bright artwork produced by her

students under her expert guidance.

She works collaboratively with other teachers, and with

parents, to get the best results for all children across our

school and she gives willingly of her time to make school a

fun place to be. Her positivity and enthusiasm are infec-

tious.

Something we all love about this staff member is her will-

ingness to share her gifts with others. Teachers and children

alike have all been recipients of her delicious and creative

cooking. In fact, on my desk is a beautiful gift basket of

homemade Christmas goodies. Every year, I look forward

to receiving this.

So, without further ado, I would like to announce

Miss Karen Larsen as the recipient of the 2021 Bullock

Staff Recognition Award.
