01.01.2022 It’s time to meet Mrs Hurwood, one of our Year 2 teachers. Claire started at OLR in 2000 but has been away for the past three years and is now back and loving it! Both her daughters were educated at our school so she has many memories both as a teacher and as a parent. When asked what she loves most about her job, Claire replied I love the children in my classes, past and present. Each one holds a place in my heart and I really enjoy seeing them grow into young adults sometimes they are hard to recognise but I always remember them at the age they were when I taught them. My current Year 2 kids are truly a teacher’s gift! #myamazingschool#BrisbaneCatholicEducation #BCEschools #WeareBCE #teachchallengetransform #futurelearningcommunities #BCEcatholicidentity
