So very proud of the work we do @stpetersaps Irrespective of the final result, our team are amazing. What a privilege to be finalists for Primary School of the year Non Govt. #ausedawards #stpetersismyschool

Companies that try and sell their goods by using an application to enrol system in a school, probably aren’t going to get the desired outcome.

Awesome to spend some time in intentional research as we seek to authentically implement the new English syllabus. A great team feel. #stpetersismyschool @chrisnmellyr

@JustineH77 @MLTANSW @AFMLTA @jjncb @SherrylSaunders @NathHarvey @FionaR_B Really interesting!

@MLTANSW @AFMLTA @jjncb @SherrylSaunders @NathHarvey @FionaR_B @StPetersHM food for thought :)

Key recommendations for a National plan for languages education in Australia. #mltansw22

I support growth and development of the teaching profession. I don’t support blanket statements that will likely cause more harm than good.

Growing a school in South West Sydney guarantees a further divide between those that can afford to pay and those that can’t. This has missed the mark!

Let’s not even get started on extended hours, Pre Kindergarten with no staff available. When will government start listening to those who do this every day?

I lead a school for a specific purpose. I wonder how the Premier and Education Minister will measure the success of these staff?

Government mandated compliance is one of the highest frustrations teachers face eg NCCD. This consistent collection of data is something that the government could adjust immediately. 2/2

I have to question the notion of performance pay for teachers. ALL teachers deserve to be well paid. There is no detail of how this will be measured. Government need to start liaising with educators and not telling us what we need. Give us the admin support - in all sectors. 1/2

Thanks to @DrCamMcDonald for your keynote at 9am on a Saturday morning at IPSHA Biennial Conference. So good.

@principalcalro1 I’d be pretty nervous doing that too…

Took a RAHT this morning! Murphy’s Law says that after the most challenging term in memory, a Principal will test positive in Day 1 of non-term time. Phew - negative!

Great day at the AHISA and ISA National forum. Some challenging and interesting provocations but above all reconnecting with other principals after so long, has been outstanding.

@Abbotsleigh Congratulations, Sally. Well Deserved!

Congratulations to Sally Ruston, our Head of Junior School, for being honoured in this year's Australia Day 2022 Honours List! For "significant service to primary education and to professional associations", Sally is now a Member in the General Division of the Order of Australia.

Thankful for the arrival of some of our promised RAHT tests. With 575 students and some 70 staff, the 310 test kits that we have received will be a challenge. Principals are used to these types of challenges, but….. #loavesandfishes #countingagain

A Principal's Assessment: 'We’re Not OK' (Opinion) edweek.org/leadership/opi…

@NewsAtNESA have sent out teacher accreditations fees for 2022 today. Not quite the Christmas gift all teachers deserve after the year they have had. Perhaps a token/ vote of appreciation may have seen @smitchellmlc @Dom_Perrottet waive the fee. Missed opportunity.

In one western Sydney school alone, 85% of students have received early entry into uni. Remind me again why we have the ATAR? smh.com.au/national/nsw/d…

Well Done to the WA Police. Your commitment and perseverance has paid off in the best possible way.

So much excitement to go from 30 students at school a few weeks ago- to only 30 absent today. @stpetersaps
