"I am a former student of North Nowra Public School between 2007 and 2013. I wanted to take a moment to reach out and express my heartfelt thanks for the lasting impact the teachers at NNPS had on my life. This week, I am attending my first job interview to have a class of my own as a teacher. I found myself reflecting on the journey that brought me here. The encouragement, support and dedication I experienced during my time at NNPS played a significant role in inspiring me to pursue teaching as a career. I have never forgotten the way my teachers made learning engaging, supportive and meaningful. The care and passion they showed helped shape not only my education but also the kind of teacher I hope to become. The patience, understanding and support shown to me during that time made a lasting difference and it is something I carry with me as I step into teaching myself. I wanted you to know just how much your work continues to matter. The influence of great teachers reaches far beyond the classroom, and I am incredibly grateful to have been a student at NNPS. Thank you again for everything you do for your students and community. I hope to carry forward the same positive impact in my own classroom." - a former NNPS student
