I congratulate Fiona Bird, a teacher at the Cromer campus of Northern Beaches Secondary College, who is celebrating 40 years at that great public school. For the past 40 years, Fiona has been an exceptional teacher, mentor and leader within the school community. Fiona began her career as a passionate music teacher, inspiring students with her love for the arts. Her dedication to supporting students' success soon saw her move into the role of careers adviser, where she guided countless young people to navigate their paths beyond school. Fiona's commitment to the wellbeing of students, staff members and families led her to join the school's executive team as head teacher for wellbeing. She has been a driving force in building an inclusive and caring school culture. Her ability to connect with students, listen with empathy and provide guidance has had a lasting impact on generations of learners. Throughout her career, Fiona has shown dedication and care in every role she has undertaken. Fiona is highly respected in the community for her many years of loyal service to the school. I congratulate Fiona on her stellar career and this massive achievement. Love your work.
