@judithway Thanks Judith, fun times ahead!

Exciting times ahead. If you’re a new teacher or experienced teacher or leader looking for a change in 2025, please come along to our Recruitment Information Session. Can’t wait. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

Alone in the developed world, Australia uses its education funding to create a class system rather than break it down. The consequences are dire. My latest in @THEMONTHLY themonthly.com.au/issue/2024/jul…

@narli25 Thanks Nat. 😊😊

@BecSpink Amazing! Congrats on this role Bec, all the best with it - I know the students and staff are lucky to have you leading the way ☺️

How special it is to start a school from scratch! Next term, we'll be hiring a Business Manager, Leading Teacher (Disability Inclusion), Learning Specialists, & Teachers to join @tobyrusso, our AP, and myself. Can't wait. Let's go! 🚀 youtube.com/watch?v=b-jx7D…

@medg56 @tobyrusso You can definitely come visit though. 🤍🤍

@BecSpink @tobyrusso If I wasn’t enjoying retired life, I’d be there in a heartbeat!

@Scott_teach @tobyrusso Thanks Scott! 🙂🙂

@BecSpink @tobyrusso If I wasn’t already in a school I like and even closer to home then Wollert is, would definitely look at applying! Best of luck finding a great team!

Dusting off the speaking boots...it's been a while. Looking forward to sharing our story so far in "School(s) of Thought: Reimagining Education from the Ground Up" in the EduBUILD stream at EduTECH. #EduTECHAU @EduTECH_AU terrapinn.com/exhibition/edu…

This is a hard one to take, but unfortunately a reality for many. Not only is the system losing good leaders, the numbers of those wanting to step up is dwindling. I love being a principal but it’s complex & there is always room for system improvement. theage.com.au/national/victo…

Today is the first-ever annual UN International Day of Play, which calls on policymakers to "elevate the importance of play" in education and community settings worldwide so that children can reach their full potential. #playmatters #internationaldayofplay abc.net.au/news/2024-06-1…

We are building new schools where they are needed most - in fact, 100 of them by 2026. We have built 75 new schools so far and today I visited Kurmile Primary in Officer with Premier @JacintaAllanMP to meet principals appointed to 6 new schools in 2025. What a talented bunch.

Equally important for schools as it is for the home. #play #moreplayplease #Echobox=1717459296" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">theage.com.au/lifestyle/life…

I’m #proudtobepublic today and always. Educated in the public system and now a proud principal in the public system. All public schools deserve full funding! Let’s get this done. @PublicSchoolsAU @AEUVictoria @AEUfederal

@ndrewwilliamson This is the best thing I’ve ever seen.

Today is Public Education Day. Thank you Portland Sth, Portland PS, Eaglehawk PS, Eaglehawk HighTech & Mordialloc Chelsea Secondary College for the quality education you gave me. Our public schools are world-class, deserve better and should be fully funded! #ProudToBePublic

New research shows the urgent need for the full funding of Victorian public schools with teacher shortages and alarming declines on student and teacher wellbeing having a widespread impact. #auspol bit.ly/3wdxvIu

'Yet ...' bringing together the science AND art of inquiry… ⁦@kjinquiry⁩ bringing some sense to this dialogue. 👌 kathmurdoch.com.au/blog/2024/4/22…

Schools are using research to try to improve children’s learning – but it’s not working theconversation.com/schools-are-us… via @ConversationUK

I sure did! Thank you! 🙂🙂

Looking forward to this new adventure…
