Scored this birthday surprise from a student of mine yesterday. Cured my Mondayitis #chocolate #TeacherLife We Are Teachers Teach Primary

So Danny DeVito was unavailable to play the short, roundish, bald, cranky, nerdy teacher for the book trailer of #preparetosoar I had to step in. Lots of fun. #reading #primaryschoolbookclub #author #bookweek #bookweek2018 #literacy #kidlit #mglit

Listening to the Howie Games Podcast @jarrodlylepga last summer was really emotional. We are the same age, Aussies, love Golf, wife and young kids. I was gutted with this weeks news. Bowdo Robert Allenby Tony Webeck Golf Australia ⛳️ Mark Howard Image - @Knightcartoons #jarrodlyle

Back to school tomorrow. Snuck in a few NSW school visits during my 'holidays'. Had a ball at St James, Banora Pt and Mt St John's, Dorrigo. #kidlit #mglit #literacy #reading #primaryschoolbookclub #preparetosoar

Spent #WorldTeachersDay surfing with 24 x 11-year-olds. Awesome seeing these kids catch the bug and get stoked. Beats being inside on devices and being a technology zombie

Had the pleasure of being invited along to the Gold Coast Catholic Schools Readers Cup to be quiz master. Chuffed that Prepare to Soar was one of four books that was used for the competition. Great event. Congrats to St Brigid’s on the 🏆St Brigid's Nerang

Packing and boxing a class set of Prepare to Soar for Randwick Public School 📚 ✌️ Enjoy

Here’s to all the boy soldiers like my pop (pictured) #LestWeForget

Loving the Bahamas 🇧🇸

Little working holiday down south. School visit to Mt St Johns Dorrigo and some golf at Bonville GC

#bookweek put those 📱 down and read 📚 to the tin kids

Politicians and Health experts blowing up about the number of people on Bondi Beach. Looks like every school in Australia last week and will do this week Not ScoMo are your children on campus? In fact, which MPs have kids at school? #shutourschools #Coronavid19 #auspol

This letter nails it Mark Bailey MP please have a read. Come for drive down the GC during holidays.Let me know how taking the Gc to 1 lane through Palm Beach is going to work? cars lining the hway and side streets. Where are the cars going? Trams have killed Surfers Sthport

2022 Wish that Mark Bailey MP trials free hop on-off bus service for the GC South. Public transport that won’t ELIMINATE lanes of Highway, street parking, homes and businesses. Also versatile and not a fixed route. It won’t cost billions like the trams. $$ for Qld Health system?

GC south locals losing businesses, homes, sporting clubs, lanes of highway, parking, access in return for a billion dollar blowout white elephant from Mark Bailey MP that is concrete, wires, poles, empty trams that travel non versatile routes @AnnastaciaMP

The truth. The Light Rail isn’t about public transport. It’s about developers filling pockets and ruining the fabric of the southern Gold Coast. We lose houses, businesses all to be another Broadbeach or Surfers RIP - Southern GC 🖕 Mayor Tom Tate Mark Bailey MP @AnnastaciaMP

Where’s David Crisafulli and @mp_gerber on the light rail fiasco for southern GC? You have the low hanging fruit and incompetence of Mark Bailey trying to destroy the fabric of the southern Gc with the tram through the narrow corridor and nothing. Crickets. So disappointing
