By Lachlan Ellis<\/p>\n

Another member of the Mullane family has been welcomed at a Ballan school, but not as a student.<\/p>\n

Peter Mullane has been a teacher for over 30-years and was recently appointed Performing Arts Teacher at St Brigid\u2019s Primary School for 2022.<\/p>\n

Performing Arts has been part of home room teachers\u2019 responsibilities until now, but Mr Mullane is excited to be the first dedicated Performing Arts Teacher, at the school that he himself attended.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe best thing about Performing Arts is that every child gets the chance to shine. Every child becomes a star. I\u2019m looking forward to embracing the opportunity of coming back to where I learnt as a kid, coming back to a small rural community,\u201d he told the Moorabool News.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve always taught in bigger schools, from Melton to Bacchus Marsh and Ballarat, and now I\u2019m starting to wind down. As Performing Arts Teacher I\u2019ll be working on certain elements in Prep, varying as it goes up to Grade 6,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The Mullane family have a strong connection with St Brigid\u2019s, with Mr Mullane far from the first of his family to attend.<\/p>\n

His father Tom, started in 1930 at just six years old.<\/p>\n

Today, his great nephew Tom and great niece Ruby are currently St Brigid\u2019s students also.<\/p>\n
