Today, we are excited to launch our national initiative for educators – Be You: bb.org.au/2Q61YxO #BeYouEd #MentalHealthInEd

The final day of the Principals as STEM Leaders meeting in Launceston commences. Bringing the last two days together - and determining a way forward on behalf of our students. Outstanding professional learning.

Looking forward immensely to the second Tasmanian Combined Principals Conference in Hobart this Tuesday to Thursday: Leading Today for Tomorrow. We welcome all our presenters and school leaders from the Independent, Catholic and Government sectors.

@pasi_sahlberg Wow!! That really is a coup. I'm astonished. Great promotion for our August event.

@QASSPInc @sappaau @BrettYoud @wappa53 @VPA71 @iananderson_ian @daskkiphil @Djyarra @APPAvoice Good on you, Michael (KR)! Wonderful and thoroughly appropriate recognition. Our very best wishes to you from the TPA.

We cannot ignore the need to read! Give great books to kids this year!!

Families giving and receiving books; reading together. Break the cycles of disadvantage. Read aloud. Read for fun. Read for the love!

Hoping that @Birmo checklist includes gratitude, recognition, support, care, resourcing, optimism, positive stance, differentiated learning.

Terrific Tasmanian Combined Principals Conference 17. Thanks to keynotes Chris Sarra, Mick Walsh, David Adams. Leading Today for Tomorrow.

Paul "Curly" Bateman - the man who described the Dogs to me last year by quoting an Irish poet "They have slipped the surly bonds of earth" twitter.com/pjcbateman/sta…

I am surprised by the continual use of "tolerance", rather than "acceptance", in discussion of our human diversities.

Thanks mate. You too. I'll have a pint for you in Dublin.

Safe and happy holidays to all. Fairer funding, equity based resourcing and an end to league tables for 2017!

Your work remains a wonderful inspiration to teachers who are striving to liberate learning. #SKR10yearson

Thanks to Schoolzine for all your help and professionalism in presenting the Tasmanian Principals Association to our members and beyond.

@Wally_NMFC @GerardWhateley @Robbo_heraldsun Brilliant!

@john_hattie confirms what we know - let's build community confidence in public schools. Stop competing. Collaborate.@henriettacook
