Anyone else gets a headache after watching A handmaid’s tale? 😭

A great evening to commemorate the 99th anniversary of the Proclamation of the Republic of Türkiye hosted by the Consul General Mr Ali Sevim. It was great to meet the new Education Attaché Mr Cem Gencoglu.

Exciting to join Minister Mitchell at the 2022 Community Languages Schools Awards event. Fantastic to see so many students and families at this special ceremony tonight. Congratulations!

The 30th year of celebrating the fine work of our Community Language Schools - great to recognise our students, some of whom speak 4/5 languages, in the NSW Minister’s Awards for Excellence in Student Achievement.

Quality of the languages program with sufficient time on task is key to success. The earlier the better. @AFMLTA #mltansw22
