Anyone remember these? 2005.

"Be your own mentor, not your own tormentor" - John Kelly - a Dunghutti Elder from Kempsey, Australia. He is an artist, cultural adviser, and teacher. #waratahproject @aisnsw

Listening to Kinchela Boys Home story from Uncle Richard Campbell #28 and Uncle Willy Nixon #24 - closed in 1970 but the pain still continues through the generations to today. @aisnsw #thewaratahproject “the younger boys forgot their names”

@SandraRPearce1 Sending condolences and hugs x

Friends, my daughter died today. We are not supposed to bury our children.

@michelleatchi15 Sending condolences and hugs

The light in our life has gone out. My beautiful and only daughter died yesterday. She never woke up. It was so utterly unexpected and my husband and my hearts are shattered. I really don’t know what to do.

Fantastic stats on independent schools shared by Margery Evans, @IndSchoolsAus CEO, at #EdFo22 #aussieED

ISA CEO Margery Evans says more families are choosing Independent schools. Growth in enrolments last year was 3.1%. #EdFo22 #school

Shadow Minister for Education @tanya_plibersek on curriculum: "Being proud of our history doesn’t mean neglecting the bits we’ve done wrong .. I want us to be proud of our history, but clear-eyed ... our kids can cope with it." #EdFo22 #aussieED

Culture is “what happens when no one is watching” Prof Pamela Hanrahan - respectful relations, open constructive relations, modelling positive culture is the key #EdFo22

#EdFo22’s first speaker is @RecAustralia CEO Karen Mundine: “We as a nation need to move from safe to brave” on issues that impact Australia’s First Nations people. #aussieED

@lucyechester @BegumNadiya Love the idea of an ‘emergency’ bread and butter pudding! 😂

Just made an emergency bread and butter pudding using @BegumNadiya’s ice cream method. It was amazing - and declared by the 83 year old father as ‘absolutely delicious’ 👌

Senator Perin Davey speaking with clarity and passion about the challenges facing students in rural and remote areas #ICPANSW #nobordersforboarders

Kicking off the third annual @smh Schools Summit with keynote address from @smitchellmlc - so great to have an audience both in-person and virtual #smhschools21 #education #nswpol

@L2Leslie Awesome 👏🏻

@MisstahCook @NickyGrant10 Congratulations from me in Australia 👍🏻

@AndrewDMorrish How fantastic. I wonder if I also worked with him?

22 years ago, an LA adviser sitting on an interview panel took a punt on me and gave me my first job as a headteacher in London. This weekend he is our 73 year old guest, staying at our house watching #hamiltonmusical and he can’t begin to appreciate how much I owe him.

@AndrewDMorrish @SimonBreakspear @AISNSW Blimey- 4 years, time flies! Still get lots of positive comments about that event. All the best @AndrewDMorrish

Hard to imagine that this time 4 years ago I was in Sydney doing a keynote on my book. @SimonBreakspear @AISNSW @melrose_rae #makanaleaders
