Sherryl Gregory
St Columban's College, Caboolture
Leading her school to national finals in Vocational Education and Training (VET) awards every year for the past three years, Sherryl Gregory has made an enormous difference to the lives of students at St Columban’s College at Caboolture.
Students at the college have 16 VET qualifications available to them and 100 School based traineeships, while the school has a partnership with 1000 employers, leading it to be a regular finalist, and winner in 2014, of the Australian Training Awards School Pathways to VET.
Sherryl, who has been teaching for almost 35 years, is in the running to win the Queensland College of Teachers Outstanding Contribution to Teaching Award.
In 2013, her work to ensure the core significance of the College’s VET program led to 98% of students graduating with a vocational qualification on top of their well-rounded education.
Sherryl was also fundamental in assisting a Year 12 student to become a national finalist for 2014’s School Based Apprentice of the Year.
Dean Stevens, VET and Careers Coordinator at St Columban’s College, says Sherryl has always strived to ensure she was at the forefront of educational change.
“Her dedication to the students and her outstanding administrative ability has made an inestimable contribution to the students and to the life of the College,” says Dean.
Students from other schools were welcome to attend SCC’s User Friendly Careers Centre, run by Sherryl, where she facilitated Trade Training Centre Opportunities.
Staff are also inspired by Sherryl; she consistently encourages them to complete their relevant qualifications and engage in professional development and industry experiences.
Kate Ruddy, Assistant Principal at SCC describes Kate as a very experienced teacher and leader.
“She is a remarkable and vital teacher, one who constantly strives to achieve her absolute best for our students,” Kate says.
Congratulations Sherryl on your nomination.
