Well done to James Witchard & our Maclean High School staff on the impact you’re having on students! 2025 saw the most Band 6 results on record for the school, 108 Early Entry Offers to uni, & many students completing Cert II courses & training before they’ve finished school.

Great to visit Woolgoolga High School to meet students & staff. Great to visit classrooms and connect with Year 12 who were running a BBQ fundraiser for their upcoming formal. Talent show was great where the staff band (with Lu Nickell on guitar) showed students how it’s done!

[Murat Dizdar @dizdarm]

9th stop for the Schools Roadshow was at The Rivers Secondary College, Lismore High Campus. Student leaders were exceptional, & tour of the Tiny Home students constructed was fantastic. Thank you to all who helped facilitate the great 2 way engagement!

Taree Public School celebrated 101 student enrolments by dressing up in white with black spots to channel the story characters of the 101 Dalmatians. Fortunately for the students & staff, Cruella de Vil was nowhere in sight! Well done on achieving this significant milestone.
