PSA Schools Recognition Week

Background

We know schools couldn’t function without the work and dedication of all School Administrative Support (SAS) staff. The PSA wanted to make sure this was properly acknowledged with a special week just for you. So back in the early 2000’s the PSA launched the first ever SAS Staff Recognition Week. And it is still going strong today.

Recognition Week is a great PSA initiative that we organise and celebrate with our members; an opportunity for the school community to show SAS Staff that they are appreciated for the important role they play within the school whether they work in the office, the library, in the school grounds, in a classroom setting or in other roles.

Over the years, more and more classifications have been introduced to schools. To ensure Recognition Week was inclusive of all our members, we amended the name to PSA Schools Recognition Week. This acknowledges the work of all SAS Staff, General Assistants, School Psychologists, Student Support Officers and other classifications.

Watch year the PSA develops a list of suggested activities each school may wish to undertake. This is provided to the Principal and the P&C, inviting them to celebrate the staff in their school.

We send, by post, a Recognition Week package to each school including promotional materials and merchandise.

The PSA always promotes the value of your work, and Recognition Week is about encouraging the school community to acknowledge your contribution to education in each and every school.

This year more than ever your General Assistants, administrative staff working in the office, those working in science, the library, technology and applied sciences, those working in the classroom and supporting the wellbeing of students have gone above and beyond.

Schools Recognition Week 2021

Every year PSA Schools Recognition Week acknowledges the contribution our members make to our halls of learning. Whether they work in the office, the library, in the school grounds or in the classroom, PSA members are instrumental to supporting the wellbeing of students, teachers and the entire school community.

This year Recognition Week is even more special. Our members have continued to support their school communities throughout one of the most trying times in our state’s history.

Schools staff have worked tirelessly to make sure no-one is left behind. They moved swiftly to work from home during various lockdowns and restrictions. They have rolled out technology to students and staff that needed it, supported virtual classes or virtually provided psychological and wellbeing support.

Recognition Week is an opportunity for you, and the school community, to show your appreciation for a job well done by dedicated staff members.
