Independently Owned, Locally Grown, Community Loved
Teacher aide Jenny Genrich incorporates play-based learning to actively engage students and support early skill development in the classroom.
A strong school community is built on the dedication of its people. At the heart of Halifax SS are highly experienced and caring learning support staff who ensure every student feels included, supported, and capable of success. Their work, alongside experienced and innovative teachers, creates engaging classrooms where creativity and curiosity thrive.
Play-based learning is one example of this approach in action, helping students develop confidence, independence, and a love of learning from an early age.
Bringing these strengths together is exceptional leadership. This has been recognised through the awarding of the prestigious Bill McClintock Medal, introduced in 2016 to honour individuals who contribute to the advocacy and service of the Queensland Association of State School Principals (QASSP), particularly through supporting colleagues across regional and remote communities.
“We are all very proud of Michael for receiving this award,” a spokesperson said.
“It reflects a commitment not only to school excellence, but to strengthening education across Queensland.
“Together, caring support staff, innovative teaching, and award-winning leadership create an environment where students and communities thrive.”
