This week is National Recognition Week for School Services Officers. At our school we are very fortunate to have a terrific team of support staff helping to care for and educate your children, and run our school. We wish to publicly acknowledge and thank our SSOs for the valuable contribution they make to the wonderful learning opportunities all students have access to at our school. Every day, in a myriad of ways, our SSOs make a huge difference to our culture of learning and cooperation; whether it be in the school office, through social skills and support programs, in our library, kitchen and garden, or grounds. We really value them and the extra pride and effort they put in for the benefit of our learners. We’d be lost without them.

As a student of Woodend I would like to thank them for all they have done for our school.
THANK YOU SSO’S!!!
August 13, 2015 at 12:15 am
Thanks for helping everyone at our school SSO’S!
August 13, 2015 at 12:16 am
The SSO’s are doing a wonderful job around our school, helping the kids who need it. We couldn’t ask any more of them. Without the SSO’s the kids who need extra help will be falling behind all the others. Thank you!

Thank you to all the SSOs for helping all the kids who are not at the same level as the other students work wise. For the other type of SSOs who dedicate their time towards helping bigger groups of students and the SSOs that work in the front office who make our school complete, thanks for all the hard work!

I strongly believe that it is amazing to have the SSOs at Woodend Primary School. The SSOs have a massive impact on us students in many ways such as cooking, social skills and help us learn in many other ways.
August 13, 2015 at 12:18 am
I believe it is great that we have such awesome SSO’s at our school. It is cool to celebrate having the SSO’s but I just want to know, why do we recognise our SSO’s on this particular week and not any other week?
August 13, 2015 at 12:22 am
We really appreciate your assistance in our school community and we wouldn’t be the same without you!
August 13, 2015 at 12:22 am
It’s great to have such support in our school by these officers and I’m sure that the students have received great help.
August 13, 2015 at 12:23 am
The SSOs in our school are always giving us a helpful hand in learning. I am really happy to be at this school and our SSOs are very helpful in us being educated.
This school has been getting better and better thanks to our SSOs.
August 13, 2015 at 12:28 am
I enjoy our SSOs being around because we can learn and get suport whenever we need it the most. I’m lucky to have come here in year 2. I felt a bit like I was the odd one out but I got help from an SSO and she pointed out another student that was new too, she also told me that she was new. Sadley my first friend left in year 5 and that teacher left in year 4.
I just want to thank the SSOs for being so kind and caring.
August 13, 2015 at 12:33 am
I would just like to thank our SSOs in our school. Because a lot of the children that you have help have learned a lot more with your help.
August 13, 2015 at 12:33 am
Thank you to every single SSO in the school, wether it be helping other student or working hard in the office you guys are the support of the school. -Hans
I say thanks on behalf of the school. The SSOs of Woodend Primary School they deserve a medal because all of there dedication and hard work they have put into the school. -Riley
August 13, 2015 at 12:34 am
Without the SSOs the kids that need the most help would be falling behind other students in their grade we couldn’t ask for more from them.
So thank you

I also want to thank Keith and Kevin for fixing stuff for our classrooms, including Mr Z’s shoe. I would like to acknowledge Kym Sard, Angela Burrows, Kerri, Sharon, Sharyn Paris and Dana.

The SSO are a great help to our school without them we wouldn’t have kitchen garden and lots of other different programs like social skills. They help around the school in the office and the library. They have helped so many children that would have fallen behind in their work if the SSO weren’t there to help them.So thanks so much for helping our school without you we would have all the special programs. like to acknowledge Kerri, Kym ,Angela, Sharon ,Sharyn , Dana ,Keith and Kevin

Thank you to all of the SSO’s, who we fortunately have at our school. If it weren’t for them helping the students, managing all of the money, keeping the grounds nice and tidy, and organising activities and programs for the students, our school wouldn’t be as successful and wonderful as it is today. Once again, thank you SSO’s!
August 17, 2015 at 2:06 am

A great big thank you to the SSOs for helping us is so many ways – in the office, in classrooms and the library. We owe a lot to Kerri, Kym, Sharyn, Angela, Dana and Sharon. The SSOs have done a lot for Woodend Primary School. They help us in so many ways, no matter who you are, what you need help with, where you are and what year level you are in.
What would we do without them?
August 17, 2015 at 2:11 am
The SSO stands for School Service officers. The SSO do all lot around the school such as help as when were sick or hurt, also help us if were slow behind everyone in our work. All these people help students around the school : Kym Sard, Angela Burrows, Kerri bruggerman, Sharon Gregury, Sharyn Paris and Dana Petland. So thank you to all these people which have helped so much around this school it makes it so much easier for so many kids. SSO are probably the biggest impact in our school it is the biggest benefit for our school to have them in our school.
