Today I would like to rise to commend Kerrie Rochford on her 40 years of service to Green Point Christian College. Kerrie has a long history at GPCC, where she was instrumental on a committee investigating the establishment of a Christian school in the early 1980s on the Central Coast. Since 1989, Kerrie has taught at the Green Point Christian College, teaching subjects such as primary music and primary sport, and undertaking the role of year advisor and secondary drama teacher. In her role as drama teacher, Kerrie has directed and produced several school musicals and drama productions, and these have been a real highlight for many students over the years, creating lasting memories.

Kerrie leaves behind a legacy of faithful dedication to the Green Point Christian school community. I would like to take this opportunity in the House of Representatives today to thank Kerrie for her 40 years plus of tireless work at Green Point Christian College and for helping establish the school and educational institution on the Central Coast, teaching for over three decades and being a strong role model for both female and male students from right across the Central Coast and regions afar. I wish you, Kerrie, all the very best in your retirement and hope your next chapter is as fulfilling as your time at the Green Point Christian College.
