Julie Buick, an education support officer at Kolbe Catholic College, has been awarded the Victorian finalist in 2021's Australian Teacher Aide of the Year Awards.

"I am honoured to receive this award and would like to thank Mrs Jane Wenlock for nominating me for Australian Teacher Aide of the Year. It is a great acknowledgement of all the work that I do within the Learning Support Department. I am both truly blessed and overwhelmed to have been chosen and awarded the 2021 Victorian State Finalist.
The work of teacher aides is invaluable, and I get to work with some of the most vulnerable and amazing students within our school. To me, seeing them smile and enjoy learning is truly satisfying and the rewarding part is seeing them achieve the best possible learning outcomes. Students may not necessarily remember everything you teach them, but they remember how you made them feel.
I am glad to be part of the Kolbe Community and I share this award not only with our team but the students as well."
