Principals have more fun!! #Principals #Fun #MoreFun #Celebrations

I recently presented my #Strive & #Rechargeable keynotes at the VPA #conference. This reminded me why a big part of our business focuses on research. When you have compelling data to show a group & you understand them on a deep level it makes your keynote much more valuable.

Great to be at the VPA state conference, the first in three years outlining the critical work of AGPPA.

Speaking at the P&C QLD 75th anniversary conference about how important it is that peek parent bodies work with the profession to ensure that government schools receive the full Schooling Resource Standard (SRS) for every student.

Partnering with P&C QLD to ensure that parents and school leaders work as partners in advancing public education in this country. Here with my old P&C executive from Woodcrest State College. Great to catch up with this hard working and dynamic team.

School Leaders giving up their weekend to support their P&Cs at the P&C QLD awards night. Our schools are richer for parents supporting us. Thank you to all our volunteers.

The AGPPA National Council meeting online today to develop a position on the national teacher shortage crisis. The work focussed on outlining some short term strategies to ensure every government school in Australia can meet the needs of their community now!

I had the pleasure to be part of the meeting of Presidents of Principal Organisations in Australia with new Federal Education Minister Jason Clare. The Meeting had a very positive tone with a desire to work regularly together to advance school education across the country.
