Mrs Suzy Taplin is our extraordinary and hardworking ‘Evolve Coach’ teacher who provides an incredible layer of expertise in her influence and leadership at UHS ‘Evolve Coaching Program’. Suzy’s dedication to coaching has made immeasurable impact on our student and staff wellbeing. An outstanding, well-deserved award.
The school also received the NSW DoE Secretary’s Award for Outstanding School Initiative for “The Sanctuary” which was a great honour. The Sanctuary – a place of hope and entrepreneurism, a place of Wellbeing and Renewal for the entire student population and their families. The sanctuary concept has provided a safe environment for positive initiatives, enhancing student and organisational contributions to positive recovery and resilience. The project began 2 years ago and now permeates across the school as it is both the physical space and the social space. People’s hearts and minds are what our project focussed upon, and this was rewarded. The Sanctuary ‘head quarters’ will be officially opened in the coming weeks with a smoking ceremony, and we know we will be celebrating this fantastic initiative to set the stage for hope and space to ensure all our students have opportunity to achieve their potential.
