Five Wimmera-Western District teachers are among more than 400 Victorians to win recognition for their commitment and dedication to public education.
They received awards at a ceremony for Department of Education and Training employees who reached 40 and 45 years of service this year.
Recipients included Stephen Bruce, Apsley Primary School, Phillip Collier, Nhill College, Betty Perry, Balmoral K-12 College, all 40 years, and Michael Maloney, Warracknabeal Primary School, 45 years.
Labor Member for Western Victoria Jaala Pulford said the five recipients had dedicated their careers to public education, helping thousands of students and multiple generations of Victorians, over many decades.
