[Ailist] Out of the ashes - a school reborn

[Sue James]

Hi folks

My apologies for cross-posting this, but it is such an inspiring story 
and I thought many folk on the AI and PCC lists would also like to read it.

In the wake of the horrendous bushfires here in Victoria, this is a 
story of renewal and hope - and the crucial role that schools and 
teachers play in helping children (and their parents!) recover and 
rebuild their lives.

Here is the (shortened) link to the story from The Age newspaper:

As Adrian Hyland writes: 
"Out in the fire-ravaged wastelands of Strathewen over the past few 
days, a small miracle has taken place. Something has been re-born. And 
the miracle workers, the midwives for this birth, were school teachers 
and administrators."

A wonderful story. It may even bring a lump to your throat or a tear to 
your eye as it did for me!

Warmly
Sue
