Our school leadership team spoke proudly of the significance of ANZAC Day.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning we will remember them. #AnzacDay2021 NSWPPA acknowledges the sacrifices made by all those who served.

So true. #Leadership

I just overheard a teacher say to a student: “I’m so proud of you!” That fires me up! We can’t ever have too much of that.

Instead of counting down days to the end of the school year, what if we count down the days left to make a difference in someone's life? I love this book, Essential Truths for Teachers, by Todd Whitaker and Danny Steele! #plaea #edchat

Not all teachers desire to leave the classroom & move into admin! But, they may desire more leadership within the school. We need a model shift in education where great talent is not promoted away, but given more pay/responsibility in the school! Creating a dynamic school culture

Continuous school improvement is our core business. The system needs to support this with a clear line of sight to the changed behaviour we are looking for. This is big work but must be done through improved guidance and support Leanne Nixon Murat Dizdar New South Wales Primary Principals’ Association #ConnectED

Thank you Dr Adam Fraser. The guy who gets in the trenches with us, truly listens, and contributes research based, real, tangible, on the ground support and successful strategies to enhance the wellbeing of Principals. #grateful

A little something for my NSW Education peeps who, thanks to the upgrade to Exchange Online, suddenly have a whole universe of Teams meeting possibilities open to them. I hope it helps.

Happy World Teachers’ Day! Our NSW Dept of Education teachers inspire, encourage and support students to reach their potential each and every day. Outstanding dedication and commitment to the students we serve right across the state #WTD2021

Authenticity is more than speaking. Authenticity is also about doing. Every decision we make says something about who we are.

Brian was my first Principal in the Department as a targeted grad and saw potential in me before I’d even considered ever taking on any type of leadership role. He touched the lives of many and will be greatly missed.

Teachers need MORE TIME to collaboratively design resources and learning experiences, which may be adapted from existing, published resources. However, just simply having a repository of resources is not enough. The planning time needs to come with it. smh.com.au/national/nsw/t…
