Zimbabwe is an amazing place to visit. Can highly recommend @ImveloSafariLod The whole Safari experience has been amazing from start to finish

So exciting when you know the singer. Only tuned in for the anthem but stayed for game. MrJenEng was Matt’s 1st soccer coach & I had a couple of stints as team manager as he played with our son. Proud when he made Pararoos team, proud listening to him sing the national anthem

Here's the National Anthem of Ecuador performed by Mateo Palaces, as well as the National Anthem of Australia, performed by @Pararoos Defensive Midfielder, Matt Hearne!!
Watch the @Socceroos play #Ecuador now, Live & Free on 10!

On #IWD2023 have been thinking about women who mentored me when I started in edu. Had quit classroom teaching, working as a clerk for BoS. Rosemary Hafner, Inspector of Sci & Margaret Watts, SEO2 showed me how to be a leader in life and education. Oh how I wish they were here now

@kelittlejohn Brilliant. It was a masterclass in playing chess and manipulation

Most of the time I am pretty confident I am in the right place doing the right thing career-wise and then you go to some PL and have a sliding doors moment and wonder are you really in the right place, doing the right thing? #existentialcrisis #yesiaminmyfifties

How do you know your children and their friends are really adults?

At the small 21st birthday gathering they do not touch the 2nd tray of hot chips but ask if there is more salad.

@BelindaTeaches Where are you staying? my last day today

Best thing about dept’s newish double authentication. When you travel OS in your holidays & forget to change the number to your personal phone, it is really difficult to access your work emails. Forced turning off of notifications for those who find it difficult.

@beesweakknees @stdennard Offering does not equal removing. The act of undoing a few buttons would be more than enough for UghJay to be flustered and immediately refusing the offer, whilst increasing the rent-free space Winnie occupies in his head

@MrsC_EngLit @howie_hua 8 and 9 are 17 so 40+40+17

@stdennard @JosinMcQuein We do. Parental leave, 4 weeks annual leave, long service leave and government family support payments and let’s not forget the free/socialised healthcare

[Jennifer English 💬 @JenEng]

1 of those days: reports missing, tech issues, car bingle. But also an amazing lunch, shout out from colleagues & old friends, elevator run-ins with people who remembered my name and fun times teaching Mr20 to make an omelette for a can’t-be-stuffed dinner. A good day on balance

@jodiannwarner1 @Anncaro11 Came here to say this

@dounya_fattouh For science we did 3 tasks per semester. 1 KU, 1 skill, 1 literacy. Sometimes 2 were combined eg independent research project = skill + literacy

@denise_lombardo ❤️Student from the most difficult & personally demoralising class I ever taught (also yr 9 class) told the principal she would only come back to yr 10 if I was her teacher because I was the only one who had never given up on them no matter how awful they were. I still tear up.
