As part of our 40 Year Celebrations, we are proud to recognise the incredible contribution of our long-serving staff members. Up first is Aunty Gail, who has been with the Murri School since 1991.

AUNTY GAIL LOCKE:
Aunty Gail began her journey with The Murri School in 1991 as a dedicated volunteer. Later that same year, she transitioned into a part-time role before becoming a full-time Teacher Aide. From the very beginning, she also took on the important responsibility of caring for the school’s small library collection.

She was part of the school community during its early years at Dornoch Terrace and continued through its transition to Milton in 1996–1997. Since the move to Acacia Ridge in 1998, Aunty Gail has been a constant presence as our Library Aide, now serving as Library Coordinator and School Officer.

Across more than three decades, Aunty Gail has quietly shaped a space that supports learning, curiosity, and connection for our students. She often acknowledges the guidance of librarians and colleagues along the way, reflecting the strong sense of community that surrounds her work.

Her journey mirrors that of the school itself — growing, evolving, and strengthening over time. Aunty Gail’s contribution is a lasting one, and we are deeply grateful for her commitment to our students and our community.

Farewell & Best Wishes, Ms Paula ❤
