This week’s discussion about challenging the traditional approach to school timetabling is welcomed. Some forward-thinking schools are already on that journey. smh.com.au/national/nsw/n… the-traditional-9-3-day-20220208-p59utd.html St Lukes Marsden Park

Unfortunately, this is is behind a paywall but its a very interesting piece on rethinking how we address the teacher shortage - by putting students in permanently paid positions in schools and working in school clusters. Has real merit. afr.com/policy/health-… Maura Manning

Some news…after more than 40 years in ed, I’ve made the call to retire as Catholic Schools Parramatta Diocese Exec Director at the end of 2022. It has been an honour. 🙏to all I’ve worked and dreamt with. I’ll keep challenging thinking so school can be meaningful for all students. #education

Though all options must be considered, ongoing learning and professional development must always be recognised as essential in the work of teachers. lens.monash.edu/@education/202… #education #auspol #nswpol

I sit down for a leisurely Sunday morning coffee and notice a random (probably paid) advertisement from a tutoring group on my FB feed. For years I’ve felt like responding and, for some reason, today I did.

Such an honour to co-host the Catholic Schools NSW Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander State Education Conference, Transforming with the Spirit. Very moved to be welcomed here by Uncle David Hill and Uncle Chris Tobin tonight #cedp2022
