A tribute To
Terrylene Marks
Terrylene Marks joined the CCG Board in 2018 and served until her passing in 2021. Terrylene was a warm, vibrant, talented person who advocated strongly for people and community. She had a particular focus on engaging and empowering Koorie students to succeed in school and provided vital advice and support for achieving this aim, right across the Gippsland region. Terrylene’s contribution to our organisation was exceptional and she will be greatly missed. Her image and story are shared here with the permission of her family.
