🌟 STAFF SPOTLIGHT 🌟
We’re back for another session of ‘Staff Spotlight’ to get to know the amazing people in and around the classrooms at Patricks Road State School.
Here are some fun, thoughtful and surprising questions so our school community can learn a little more about the people who make PRSS such a special place to be. 💙💛
