amazing for the part each plays is each discussion. The lurkers .... well
they are best addressed in another message ....</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);"> First and foremost our online community would not be
anything like it is without Paula’s presence. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">It is a testament to her, that she sticks her neck out and is
accountable all year round, and come to think of it over the past dozen or so
years, purely in the pursuit of supporting teachers and doing the best
for the students.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">To produce a study design, put out advice, interpret every
permutation and keep the community and everyone else together as she does is
just amazing. She is a ready target for any and every frustration , yet she is
still here, clarifying , helping, supporting. How lucky are we ???</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">She has to deal with criticisms ( some of which are not based on
fact ) and she keeps the professional approach with the utmost courtesy.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">No, I am not asking Paula for a pay rise or any favours but it
is important that this be stated and everyone understands what a difference it
makes to have her presence during our discussions.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">The second person is Mark Kelly. Tireless and professional,
funny and serious, an expert but always willing to learn and it goes on. His
<a href="http://vceit.com" target="_blank">vceit.com</a> site is a lifeline for so many teachers and we always thank him again
at this time of year for his coronial enquiries into the exams that make for an
amazing learning activity as well as an opportunity to communicate, inform,
discuss and even vent.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">So Mark we are all in your debt. I think there may be several of
these thank you messages in the archives but it does not diminish what we all
think of you.</span></p>
