17 years after our first trip to SCH, my guy is almost ready to graduate to the adult hospital. What a team of people that have supported him over the years. From hating BOTOX treatments to looking forward to it improving his daily life. So grown up. 💙
@BankANZ absolutely disgusting, sat on phone hour and a half to retrieve unauthorised charges on kids accounts. For months the message was one thing then different tonight. It took so long that 2 years worth of charges will only be refunded for last financial year. What a joke.
Head Coach Kai Lammert has selected a larger than usual squad with a number of new additions for our upcoming training camp in March.

@Amandab33300572@aliceleung How grateful we are as parents for those teachers who encouraged, supported and pushed our kids despite their many challenges. Teaching students facing adversity has got to be one of the most underrated and unrecognised careers out there! We thank you!!
@aliceleung Yes! My son completed year 12 this year, making it through 13 years of school a huge challenge for him. I congratulate all the students, ATAR, Non-ATAR, various pathways, kids from SSP Schools and for the parents who could only dream this day would one day come.
❤️SHE MATTERS: LILIE JAMES!❤️
This is 22-year-old sports coach Lilie James.
Yesterday, Lilie was murdered at her workplace – a school – in Sydney’s CBD. Today, cops are hunting for a male colleague whom they suspect ended her life.
Lilie is the 55th Australian woman killed this year.
At the time of writing, the alleged perpetrator had not been apprehended and there is a suggestion he may have killed himself.
In the wake of Lilie’s death, police have stressed there was no suggestion of a ‘relationship’ between them.
But here’s the rub. Lilie, like almost every other woman killed this year, knew her perpetrator.
Of the 55 women lost to violence in 2023, only four did not know their alleged killers.
The other victims - where an alleged perpetrator is known - had a prior connection to the accused – be it intimate or familial relationship, a friendship, workplace connection, a neighbour, housemate or other link.
There are two clear trends in femicides across our county – the gender of the accused killers and ‘the known to each other’ commonality.
In other words, women are almost always murdered by someone they know and the offender is almost always a male.
Today, please take time to mourn the loss of this young vibrant woman to violence and to think of her family, her friends, her colleagues and the young people whose lives Lilie touched during her career in education and sport.
RIP LILIE JAMES! ❤️

I document ALL unlawful deaths of women and children, regardless of perpetrator gender or relationship between the person killed and the accused. This means not every death is due to domestic and family violence. Australians are also killed by strangers, friends, colleagues, neighbours and other people known to them.

@ServicesGovAU I’m trying to apply for something for my son. It’s requesting a document that is not relevant to him and I can’t proceed beyond that page
@ServicesGovAU why when I call disability services is the call ended? I’ve been trying for over a week to make a call to support my son. There isn’t even a call back option.

@msciffer@TeachersFed@ChrisMinnsMP@pruecar There are no counsellors! You could create 1000 positions but you won’t find people to fill them. The work load and the conditions are much better in private practice which is where they all go.
@AGavrielatos How will they do this Angelo, my understanding is there is just to much demand and not enough counsellors? Also across NSW, is 250 going to be enough? Whoever is to blame, at this point I can’t see any political party being able to solve the staffing crisis.
