Exciting times ahead. If you’re a new teacher or experienced teacher or leader looking for a change in 2025, please come along to our Recruitment Information Session. Can’t wait. https://t.co/tkdj478EfM

Alone in the developed world, Australia uses its education funding to create a class system rather than break it down. The consequences are dire. My latest in @THEMONTHLY https://t.co/BmsNYWDW5K

Dusting off the speaking boots...it's been a while. Looking forward to sharing our story so far in "School(s) of Thought: Reimagining Education from the Ground Up" in the EduBUILD stream at EduTECH. #EduTECHAU

This is a hard one to take, but unfortunately a reality for many. Not only is the system losing good leaders, the numbers of those wanting to step up is dwindling.

I love being a principal but it’s complex & there is always room for system improvement.

Today is the first-ever annual UN International Day of Play, which calls on policymakers to "elevate the importance of play" in education and community settings worldwide so that children can reach their full potential.

We are building new schools where they are needed most - in fact, 100 of them by 2026.

We have built 75 new schools so far and today I visited Kurmile Primary in Officer with Premier @JacintaAllanMP to meet principals appointed to 6 new schools in 2025.

What a talented bunch.

[Bec Spink @BecSpink]

Equally important for schools as it is for the home. #play #moreplayplease

I’m #proudtobepublic today and always. Educated in the public system and now a proud principal in the public system. All public schools deserve full funding! Let’s get this done. @PublicSchoolsAU @AEUVictoria @AEUfederal

[Bec Spink @BecSpink]

@ndrewwilliamson This is the best thing I’ve ever seen.

[AEU @AEUfederal]

New research shows the urgent need for the full funding of Victorian public schools with teacher shortages and alarming declines on student and teacher wellbeing having a widespread impact. #auspol
