Cheers to 30 years

TRY Melton West Preschool will celebrate 30 years of outstanding service by one of its staff.

Michelle O’Brien is described by her colleagues as a “kind and giving person” who is well respected in the Melton community.

Mrs O’Brien, 62, told

Star Weekly she has loved her time working at the preschool.

Fellow teacher Robyn Dickinson said: “I have worked with Michelle for 17 years. She is not only an outstanding teacher but she is really committed to being a friend to the children and their families.”

Michelle is known to have a lovely singing voice and often sings with the children.

“It’s an outstanding effort to be at one place for 30 years. Her commitment to this preschool is one to celebrate,” Ms Dickinson said.

The preschool will hold a celebration on Tuesday, December 12 from 2.30pm – 5pm with a small presentation planned for 4pm.

Children and families who have previously attended the centre, and those who have attended during the past 30 years, are invited to help celebrate the milestone.
