Been sitting on QF 1445 for 45 minutes, no coms about what’s happening. #qantas

@Peter_Fitz It would only be historic if a first term Labor Gov was defeated. Not the other way around.

I CANNOT believe it will end up this bad for the Coalition, but, if so, it will see the end of culture war politics for some time. #Discuss. #Auspol

@abcnews Good

@ellenmfanning @Qantas And my bags didn’t make it to London either.

@ellenmfanning @Qantas I was on that. It was appalling from the start. No notifications until airborne. Delayed, then delayed, slept on a couch in the lounge, then eventually told it would be 6am (8 hours after landing in Singapore) then told it would leave the next day. The got Emirates via Dubai…

All special educators, make some time this Thursday for this!

The theme for World Teachers' Day 2024 is “Valuing teachers' voices: towards a new social contract for education”. Thanks to all the amazing teachers in our specialist schools and settings. @ICPConnect

Chat GTP 4.0 is great.

Special education staff, teachers, admin, SLSO’s, please take a few minutes to complete our survey. facebook.com/share/p/TiduGA…

@Anncaro11 @SatPaper @NSWSEPLA @NSWSPC @nswppa That ‘inclusion’ can only occur in mainstream settings is folly. We value specialists in every other aspect of our lives. Why would anyone argue for a one-size model in which everyone miraculously, and instantly has equity. This ignores parent choice, which everyone else has!

@SatPaper The educational access provided by these schools are a lifeline to some of our most vulnerable children and young people. To close these settings would not be equity, many would lose all inclusion in education. @NSWSEPLA @MattJohnsonNet @NSWSPC @nswppa

The trend of closing down specialist-needs schools, which some have argued is discriminatory and ghettoising. It’s a contested idea, but generally speaking the argument for equity has triumphed over tailored, specialist education. satpa.pe/QMZKQad

@LynSharratt @PeterMDeWitt Great to see you back.

Just arrived in Australia and so looking forward to the work - then look who I bump into! The wonderful @PeterMDeWitt Safe travels, Peter!

All who work in special education, please complete our survey.

Wow. Just finished. 1X ICP executive planning day, 2 days ICP Council and AGM, 1 Emerging Leaders Day and then 3 days of the ICP World Convention 2024 Kenya. What an amazing event. I’m proud to be on the executive for 2025/6 as the ICP General Representative.
