Two days working with schools and leaders in the Big Rivers region alongside my Senior Director colleagues from across the NT. Food for the soul and so good to be back home in beautiful Katherine.

Celebrating exceptional Territory educators at Parliament House on Larrakia Country this #WorldTeachersDay2023 👏👏👏

And the celebration continues! Cheering on the #Youthvoicecrew as finalists at the NT Chief Minister’s awards for 2023! 👏👏👏 Summer Howarth aderyn.chatterton

Almost ready. 40+schools, 100s of commissioners and the BIGGEST room we could find to fit us all in. It’s #NTLC Expo eve! Time to celebrate the work of incredible commissioners leading improvement right across the NT.

UK colleagues continue to share war stories of review experiences. After overseeing 150+ in the last 5 years, leading many of those myself; it doesn’t have to be this way. Reviews are not there to be survived, they should be a gift to a school in their improvement journey. 😔

Jessica is a Territory treasure. That is all. Happy New Years. #NYEABC

I’m on board, but how will I contact Operation Treadstone and at which London train station lockers will my various passports, international currencies and weapons be stored? This is essential if I am to commit to this mission.

Do it!!! Think of the many, many incredible educators you know. This is such an outstanding opportunity to celebrate the difference they make. Do it!!! Why are still reading this??? Do it!!!!!

It’s been a pretty fun couple of days at ‘work’ 😊 #NTLC 2024 is underway - Big Rivers, Darwin ✅ Distance Education, Top End and Central regions to follow shortly - representing over 20,000 young Territorians. Students as partners in learning. Summer Howarth Susannah Schoeffel Pivot Professional Learning

After minutes waiting, Coventry City are ahead. VAR debate might rage but I do long for the days when you could actually celebrate a goal without checking over your shoulder. Joy tempered. Jubilation diluted. Process over product. #BBCFootball #FACup #WOLCOV

Football hey. Bloody hell. Coventry City #FACup #WOLCOV

During lockdown, I wrote 30k words about VAR and measurement theory. No-one wanted to publish it - they all said it was mad. But offsides like this Coventry one mean I can't stop thinking about it. 3 major issues.

A reminder. During the period when players are able to rest ahead of a new season Manchester City⁩ ⁦Arsenal⁩ ⁦Chelsea FC⁩ ⁦Liverpool FC⁩ Manchester United⁩ will all head to 🇺🇸. ⁦Newcastle United⁩ and ⁦Tottenham Hotspur⁩ will be in 🇦🇺 in May. ⁦Match of the Day⁩ bbc.com/sport/football…

Chills…and not just because it’s 4 am and we are all up and watching the football. Wonderful Match of the Day

👏👏👏👏👏👏 James Graham

It will take more than a 3-0 defeat (yes, at 3 am in the morning) to dim the memory of the joy that the CommBank Matildas gave our family in 2023. We will be up for the next one - and the next one after that. #Matildas #olympics #Paris2024
