CITATION
Lynette Russell - Barrenjoey High School
Lynette
Russell is a dedicated and committed
supporter of NSW public education and the partnerships necessary between
parents and teachers to ensure an optimum learning environment.
Barrenjoey
High School is
a fully comprehensive public high school which reflects the values and
aspirations of the community it serves.
The school community is grateful to the vision, energy and sense of
quality Lynette Russell
has shown in improving the educational opportunities available to the
students. Through her leadership there
is an exemplary transition programme for year 6 students to move to year
7, a student mentoring programme, an
interactive open night which showcases the school, student leadership
opportunities and the year 7 & 8 enrichment programme.
Lynette
Russell is aware of the importance of
parent support within the school and has developed ceremonies, performances
and dinners to include as many parents as possible to share in their child’s
educational experience. She has
always been supportive of parents who wish to contribute positively to the
school which has seen the reinstatement of a very successful rugby programme,
the Pathways programme for year 10 girls & boys, support for a mural
project organised by parent artists and a real partnership with parents keen
to improve the environment of the school and initiate sustainable school
projects.
Lynette
Russell has promoted the school to the
wider community and has supported parents in activities to achieve this. The Barrenjoey Arts Festival not only
promotes the work of students within the school, but the work of the
Pittwater community. Lynette
Russell has also supported parents in
their applications for various government grants which has seen the injection
of much needed funds to major school projects. Lynette
Russell works tirelessly in providing
articles and photographs to local newspapers to highlight Barrenjoey
successes to the community.
Under her leadership Barrenjoey
High School has
developed into a thriving, dynamic and energetic learning environment which
provides opportunities for personal growth to the students, staff and
parents. This development would not
have been possible without the support, energy and commitment of parents and Lynette
Russell has ensured the school community
is aware and recognises the value of this partnership.
Lynette
Russell is a worthy recipient of this
award.
Sandra Skelly, P&C President
