Today we farewelled Marianne, who will begin leave from Monday and will retire later in the year. Marianne is a passionate educator, who has been part of the Big Picture journey from its beginnings in Tasmania. Marianne was part of the team who started Launceston Big Picture. In her time at LBPS she has been an advisor, literacy coach, AST and an AP. We are grateful for her calm, considered contribution to our school, her passion for Big Picture Learning, and we know she will be missed by students, staff and the broader Big Picture community. Thank you Marianne, all the best for the journey ahead.
