Congratulations to Pro Vice-Chancellor @ntowney on being named @CityNewcastle's 2023 Citizen of the Year! 👏 🎉 Nathan is a proud Wiradjuri man and advocate for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. We are incredibly proud to have him as a leader in our community.

@TroyWestcott I still talk about Glen’s leadership and use what he taught me about schools. A gold mine.

To quote John F. Kennedy 'leadership and learning are indispensable to each other' I am grateful to collaborate and grow with these amazing school leaders at GGPS. Thank you for a rich and rewarding 2022.

@aliceleung I’m reframing it (holidays) as time in lieu. I’m paid for 35 hrs/week and I take time in lieu after the term ends to make up for all (some) of the overtime I do.

My driver this morning: “Oh you’re a teacher. You get so many holidays.”

It's my #Twitterversary! I have been on Twitter for 13 years, since 26 Jul 2009 (via @twi_age).

Holiday. Make it count.

It had to be done, it's too perfect. Italy's winning try, Nessun dorma, enjoy. #WALvITA #SixNations

@AdamMGrant @Forbes4Nathan character over cover drive.

In toxic cultures, people get promoted for results even if they destroy relationships. Abuse is a price to pay for high performance. In healthy cultures, no level of individual excellence justifies undermining people. You’re not a high performer if you don't elevate others.

@Mcg_jason So great. Much appreciated!!

@GosfordPS @Mcg_jason @OECD_Centre Where can I get a copy of that paper?? It looks like a very interesting read!

Stage teams value strong Teacher Professional Identities and include it in 2022 plans! Our exec team is committed to developing and supporting #TPI after discussing the 'WHY?' at a whole school exec meeting using @Mcg_jason's working paper. Next, we learn 'HOW?' @OECD_Centre

Several years of planning, drafting and fine tuning have finally come to fruition in this compact and information-packed #spelling compendium. I hope this book will help #teachers and #students. Available now through my website tessadaffern.com

@Forbes4Nathan That’s awesome!!

With all the COVID uncertainty swirling around us, it was great to welcome our students back to school today and even better to have this amazing new library mural to show all our eager readers.
