"Deborah is from Noah's Ark and the students all had lovely things to say, and I am just going to say a couple: 'Deborah was a fantastic teacher, explaining the role of the key worker and taking her time to provide orientation to the workplace and systems. She was supportive in my learning and understanding of areas I haven't experienced before, such as challenging behaviour', so please accept your award, Deborah!"
