Celebrating Staff

Recently, we were delighted to celebrate an incredible milestone – Sue Brown’s 25th anniversary to St Mark’s and her ASC 25-Year Service Award! For a quarter of a century, Sue has been the backbone of our secondary library, consistently going above and beyond to support both staff and students.

When Sue first joined us, her role was much different than it is today. One of her early tasks was to review the TV program guide each week, then set the VCR to record educational programs, and then catalogue and shelve the video cassettes. Over time, Sue seamlessly adapted as technology evolved, transitioning from VHS to DVDs, then to MP4s, and eventually to our current ClickView system.

As libraries transformed in response to digital advancements, Sue was always at the forefront, eager to learn new skills and embrace the opportunities technology offered. Her passion for computers and the online learning space has helped shape our library into a hub of modern learning. She eagerly embraced new tools and resources, which have not only enhanced our students' online learning experiences but helped shape our library into a hub of modern learning.

And it’s not just Sue’s professional dedication that we celebrate – in 2025, her 3rd grandchild will join us at St Mark’s, making Sue’s connection to our school even more special! That will be the sixth person and third generation of Sue's family to join the maroon!

Sue, your hard work, adaptability, and commitment to our community over the past 25 years have made an immeasurable impact. Thank you for everything you’ve done, and here’s to many more years of success!
