An advertisement broadcast during the annual School Spectacular talent event has highlighted the importance of PSA members in schools.

The advertisement, featuring PSA General Secretary Stewart Little and Schools Departmental Committee Chair Juliette Sizer, publicises the work done by non-teaching staff and the pride the union takes in representing these Champions of the State.

The advertisement, produced on site at Bangalow Public School in the Northern Rivers region of NSW, was broadcast on Channel Seven and seen by more than a million viewers. It highlighted the work of PSA members, including the behind-the-scenes efforts of school staff when events such as school plays and dance performances are put on.

“The NSW Schools Spectacular is a highlight of the year for many students, parents and guardians,” said Ms Sizer. “Events as big as this, and as small as school plays, are often impossible without the excellent efforts of our members.

“Students know it, teachers know it, parents know it. Now, thanks to our advertisement, the rest of the state knows it, too.”
