Our Yr11 & 12 students came back today! It was the best! I was so excited to see them, laugh & learn again together. And I was blown away by the kindness of my Mentor girls to me. A beautiful reminder that relationships between members in a school community are so important.

A great project for Geography/Science teacher friends/students in fire affected areas! Want to help the bushfire recovery? This citizen science project is easy and free abc.net.au/triplej/programs/…

A fantastic article/resource for adults (esp parents & educators) from UNICEF Aus How to talk to your children about Australia’s bushfire emergency - UNICEF Australia unicef.org.au/blog/news-and-…

Fires in a town close to my heart and the home to those in my family. Thoughts and prayers to you all. Thank you to all NSWRFS and others fighting these blazes.

.....and now to the part we are all trying to find the right path in and around. Technology and schooling. It has been the biggest change to the teaching landscape during my career.

Wonderful to see the work of Yeronga State School and hats off to the school for investing in this area with their teachers and teachers aides.

Being adventurous with word choice is something I'd love to see all children do. There are so many ways we can express ourselves and words are but one beautiful way.

'...we need to talk about the complexity of learning to be literate'. Prof Robyn Ewing raising a very good point.

Really interested to watch tonights @4corners on #digikids As a teacher it is an area we need to talk about.

My family is hilarious, creative and now in the news! @AaronMooreArt you make a great Butcher!

So good to hear the acknowledgement of country at the start of the #StateOfOrigin

Totally agree, but to work towards ensuring this isn't the default I believe teachers need to be collaborative, feel safe, valued, & trusted

Looking forward to what the people who will fill those have to say tonight about politics! #sydneywritersfestival

The armies of democracies are more likely to kill civilians. More French were killed by Allies than the Britsh were killed by the Luftwaffe.

No plan survives contact with the enemy-Antony Beevor. Very true! #sydneywritersfestival

Antony Beevor - the Second World War brought out a lot of moral choices. #sydneywritersfestival

An incredible thanks to Dr John Collier for tonight. Great discussion! Join us for the next one on May 9 with #ACENSW Dr Paul Brock Medalist @mesterman

We need to stand for the best of academic standards and have high expectations. If we insist on high expectations it gives students an opportunity to lift. #ACENSW Great discussion with Dr John Collier tonight
