The Shrine of Remembrance is not a Place of Protest
Many of my friends and colleagues are highly offended by the actions of those who have CHOSEN to disrespect a place of quiet reflection and giving thanks for the love they shared with their family and mates who have lost their lives fighting for Australia. The behaviour we have seen in recent days of protesting at the Shrine of Remembrance, Melbourne do not reflect the value of Australian’s right to protest.

The Strongest Contributors do not make the LOUDEST Noise

There is a sizeable part of the community who are not represented adequately by those who make decisions that influence the direction of the next challenge as parts of Australia follow "the road map" out of COVID lockdown. These are the quiet contributors that have kept their families and the local community functioning. This is authentic demonstration of Australian values.

Our Education System is no longer “Fit for Purpose”
Our education system across New South Wales is not the model needed for now or the future. It does not fit the needs of many communities. PROFESSIONAL AND EXPERT Teachers and Educators know how to make the system functional again. Let the professional practitioners do their work without micromanagement and valid interference.

Reflection: Planning for Integrated Curriculum

Students acquire deep subject knowledge, transferable skills and value their learning when they find connection to both the teacher and links between subjects. These connections are better found by students when an explicit link is made between common course content, concepts and skills. The Australian Curriculum labels these as Content Domains and General Capabilities.
