Parents know an excellent teacher

Arrowtown Primary School teacher Nadia Caldwell, who has been nominated for the annual ASG Excellence in Teaching Awards, surrounded by her class of adoring pupils.

Miss Caldwell, who was nominated for the award by parents of her year 2 and 3 class, said she was surprised by the move.

"I don't do anything that any other teacher doesn't do ... I just get up and do my job every day. All the same though, it's nice to know parents are happy with what I'm doing with their kids."
