Extract

Teachers often become very despondent about their job. One reason for this is because all too often they are made aware of their failures rather than their successes. In this article I am very pleased to be able to report on the success of Cherbourg State School. Although Queensland reserves are not noticeable for creating hope, one of the bright lights at Cherbourg is education.
