We are delighted to award our October TA of the Month to Angel Gayadeen at Saint Gabriel’s College. Angel was nominated by CENMAC Advisory Teacher Maureen De Longhi.
Maureen said “I wholeheartedly recommend Angel Gayadeen, HLTA at Saint Gabriel’s College as CENMAC TA of the months, for her exceptional dedication and compassionate support of the students she works with. Angel consistently goes above and beyond when writing referrals, ensuring each one is thoughtful, well-researched. She takes the time to look up key details and includes relevant examples, giving the referrals the best possible chance of success so that her students can get the support they need.
She attends assessments personally, learns how to use their equipment, and ensures she can offer meaningful, hands-on assistance. Her caring nature creates a comfortable environment for pupils, allowing them to feel seen and supported.
Angel is a true advocate for the young people at Saint Gabriel’s, and the students really benefit from her unwavering support.”
Congratulations Angel!
