@ben46k @JasonClareMP @CabraPS @lisaporter555 I remember Jason visiting Lansvale East when I was principal there and he was a new MP. He had a genuine interest in education and now has a chance to make a difference. Go well young man!@lisaporter555 @dizdarm

@michellelgomes @UrbanLandscape6 The school looks great Michelle, with the playground and no bars on the windows to top off the fantastic learning that is happening. You are an exceptional school leader.

@AGavrielatos They have to get the money from somewhere to pay teachers, principals and corporate staff for phone, internet and electricity bills while they have been working from home. Sorry, you say they're not going to do this. 😁

@mkitteringham Seems more like a decathlon, Murray. Something new every few hours requiring speed, strength and stamina.

Take a look at the ‘What works best: 2020 update’. Our @nswcese colleagues have updated the popular report with the latest research and data to identify key teaching practices and themes that improve student outcomes. https://t.co/vnXcCWg1tI

@johnqgoh You and all principals and teachers have done a magnificent job and will continue to do so. With regards to the IPA - democracy and freedom of speech are great as long as they control the narrative.

Teachers are creating our future Australians.

We need to make sure they’re supported. We need to make sure they’re safe.

Today and every day, we say thank you.
