Each year, we delight in celebrating the incredible tenure of staff members across Schools, OSHCs, and Early Years Services – particularly those who have dedicated decades of their life to Lutheran education. Spending more than 10 years in a single role is an achievement for anyone, but it’s especially impressive in today’s job market.
