Celebrating Excellence: Proudly Supporting the Toowoomba Catholic Schools Excellence Awards When the opportunity came to support the Toowoomba Catholic Schools Excellence Awards it was an unequivocal yes! Having worked with Toowoomba Catholic Schools since 2008 on the Diocesan Learning Profile, we're constantly inspired by the late nights, the juggling acts, and the sheer determination it takes to give every student the attention they deserve. Hence, we are overjoyed to support the inspiring and expert staff of TCS as they look to create exemplary places of learning where every student experiences academic success and comes to know and experience the loving presence of Jesus. On the night, David Berting of JDM had the honour of awarding Prep teacher Jesse Curtis with the Primary/Kindergarten expert teacher award. This award brings us right back to the roots of our relationship with TCS. In 2006 we first started developing a curriculum tool for Prep which led into the holistic Diocesan Learning Profile we work on today. It is therefore fitting that we get to celebrate Jesse with this award - congratulations Jesse.
