Juliana ADDISON (Wendouree) (10:05): Congratulations to Forest Street Primary School principal Jillian Burt on achieving the incredible milestone of 50 years in public education.

Jill is an outstanding educator and leader who has made a huge contribution to the lives of generations of students, teachers, support staff and the Forest Street school community over the last 30 years. Jill also worked at Grevillea Park Primary School, now known as Yuille Park Community College, for eight years and other schools around Ballarat and Geelong.

I want to thank Jill for her passion for education, her dedication to her students, her commitment to the primary school community and her fierce advocacy for Forest Street Primary School.
