@abcnews Disappointing focus on NAPLAN results. what motivation is there for Y9 boys to do their best? What do they get out of it? Younger kids tend to just get on with things. naturally more compliant. NAPLAN has been turned into political fodder. There are better ways to track progress.

Great performance and so close. Disappointed I’m sure, but he should be so proud of that match. He played so well. Congratulations Sam….. silver medallist

@rdudgeon @MsMelissaBrady @smh I am fairly certain you won’t be alone……

@MsMelissaBrady @smh We spoke about this tonight as a family. Just deciding if we will be comfortable with our 9 year old going back to school unvaccinated and potentially contracting Covid. I’m not really comfortable with that.

Why is this in @smh before any news to schools? If this is true, then it's just another slap in the face to the state's educators...again. Youngest prioritised in planned staggered return to school next term smh.com.au/politics/nsw/y…

Temperature testing community feeling with leaked information……. why don’t they ask those that might know a few things??????? Policy decisions from boffins stuck in an office make no sense and are so far removed from what actually happens in schools.

This week in the Junior School is Book Week! It will be a week to celebrate and focus on literature, reading and books! The theme for Book Week this year is Old Worlds, New Worlds, Other Worlds. #WeAreBarker

You were amazing #IPSHANSW - till next time, keep up the great work empowering our changemakers of tomorrow!

Thank you to William Sparling (Class of 2004), for speaking to our Year 3 students about his book ‘Camouflage Kids’. William was inspired to write the book after being part of the Cadet Unit, his grandfather’s service and his experience with @LegacyAust #WeAreBarker

Such an honour, challenge and privilege. There is genius in the community - time to let the genius shine. ⁦@ShawAllanJ⁩ ⁦@BrionyScott⁩ ⁦@ahisa_national⁩ ⁦@bairdjulia⁩ skynews.com.au/details/_62495…

DHUPUMA BARKER// The Advisory Board and community, Barker staff and the new Yolngu staff are busy getting ready to receive 24 new students at Dhupuma Barker in Gunyangara, NE Arnhem Land. Preparations are matching the excitement being felt in the community. #WeAreBarker

The available collegial networks for Principals help build connection and support for each other. The key is an ability to reach out for a colleague's help when needed. 'mental health crisis in school leadership' – major report theeducatoronline.com/k12/breaking-n…

JUNIOR SCHOOL // A new addition to our STEAM program: sewing. Students will be making messenger bags in Years 5 and 6. #WeAreBarker

@PJjHeath @rdudgeon @bradmerrick @MsMelissaBrady I agree humility plays a big part. Be noticed by others for what you do..... you don’t need to crow it from the rooftops..... good leaders are noticed, they don’t need to tell you

Some pretty smart women claim to be racked by impostor syndrome. Do men just not get it? Some men do; but for the rest it’s time to get out of the way now. ⁦@rdudgeon⁩ ⁦@bradmerrick⁩ ⁦@MsMelissaBrady⁩ flip.it/Daefqd

@PJjHeath @rdudgeon @bradmerrick @MsMelissaBrady I wonder if this next generation will be capable of imposter syndrome??? Am finding those new to the workforce extremely confident and ready (or is it raring) to lead as soon as they enter the workplace. “I can do that” “I will do that” “why won’t you let me do that”......

MATHS // Fantastic mathematical conversations between Year 6 and Year 9 students. Brains were on fire for factorials, logarithms, prime numbers and challenging puzzles! #WeAreBarker
