Dear Universe, you kept me in hospital for 14 days but thankfully I am now home with my family. 💛 The focus for the next few weeks is for the mouth to heal before the chemo shenanigans for the breast cancer begin. #cancersux

A huge THANKYOU to the marvellous team at St George oncology for helping me get through chemo. 12 of 12 done! Yay! A special thanks to my ‘vein whisperer’! #cancersucks #breastcancer #chemo

Proud teacher moment. The indomitable Hannah Diviney has just published her first book 🎉 😀 “I’ll let myself in” and I must say it is a powerful read! I always knew this day would come! Congratulations Hannah! 💜 booktopia.com.au/i-ll-let-mysel… #gottaread #booklovers

Not sure how I feel about the new English 3-6 sample units being designed so that only the teacher needs to have a copy of the text. The Ss only require access to short extracts that are displayed on an IWB or photocopied. It doesn’t seem to sit right with me. #syllabus #NSWDoE

That feeling you get when a former student (Year 4 - 2015) pops in to see you and give you a gift - a copy of their 2023 Extension 2 HSC English major work along with a beautiful note about your role in helping them fall in love with writing - Priceless! #publiceducation #nswdoe

A call for help from NSW Dept of Education teachers. Who has (or knows of a teacher or school who has) published a student created work on iBooks (or similar digital platform)? #iBooks #writing #publiceducation We have the work, copyright permissions signed etc but just need some advice.

#breastcancer is a ‘gift’ that just keeps giving 😢 the treatments to deal with it cause other problems that then also need to be treated and can themselves give you cancer. It sucks! #hadtovent

Stage 3 were over the moon this week as they worked with @contacthelen and UOW on their recycled plastics project. The best bit? The University is running their teacher workshops again in term 4, so check them out! instagram.com/p/C_2BoI0TgyE/… NSW Dept of Education Joanna French
