One of Brimbank’s much-loved school crossing supervisors, Sally Stellini, is the winner of School Crossing Victoria’s 2024 Supervisor of the Year award.
Sally has been working as a school crossing supervisor for 20 years, with most of that time spent at the Monash Street Sunshine crossing, servicing the nearby Our Lady’s Catholic Primary School.
The school community recognises Sally for her passion and dedication to her crossing, and for her warm and positive nature.
It is said that Sally makes everyone feel special by knowing their names and goes so far as knowing their dogs’ names too.
As well as sharing her road safety knowledge, Sally teaches everyone how to correctly cross the road, while making sure it’s safe to do so.
“I look forward to going to work every day because the kids are delightful, and the parents are always so nice,” she said.
“It’s very rewarding knowing that I contribute to the safety of the kids and people in my community.”
Sally was awarded alongside seven other Brimbank Crossing Supervisors nominated for their exceptional service, including Hai Chu, Lena Calfapietra, Areniel Montoro, Carol Spencer, Gordon Gambian, Margaret Cockinos and Michael McGrath.
School Crossings Victoria established the school crossing supervisor of the year award back in 2010 to acknowledge the contribution and spirit of the work undertaken by school crossing supervisors throughout Victoria.
