Local Member thanks teachers

Member for Gosford Ms Liesl Tesch has thanked Peninsula teachers for their service during the lockdown.

"Teachers are among the essential workers overlooked in the pandemic, especially when it comes to putting themselves on the line to go to school and look after essential workers' kids," she said.

"They have spent time changing their lesson plans to accommodate online learning and they have been moving with every single announcement delivered by the Government."

"As a former teacher I understand the difficulty of teaching under normal circumstances and I know these would only add to the pressure.

"Teachers commitment to students in our community and the encouragement they deliver to kids in our community, jumping on school Facebook pages and making fun videos to keep our students entertained, is something that does not go unnoticed and I cannot thank you all enough for everything you do.

"Without the courage, passion and dedication of our teacher's children across the state would be suffering."

Ms Tesch has urged parents to stay vigilant.

"If you are not an essential worker, please keep your children safe and at home."

"I know it is difficult to help your children learn from home but it is also the safest means right now for everyone in our community."
