π§΅If someone told me at the start of this year that Iβd win not one, but two Young Journalist of the Year Awards, I probably would have said something like βin my dreams maybeβ.

SUSPENSIONS DONβT HEAL. REAL SAFETY REQUIRES REAL SOLUTIONS. π«π¦πΊ
The numbers are confronting, but behind every suspension statistic is a child, a family and a story.
Reporter @RebeccaaBorg has been reporting on Victoriaβs school safety and discipline issues for some time. Her latest investigation highlights what can happen when bullying continues, victims reach breaking point, and punishment alone doesnβt solve the underlying problem.
This isnβt just about Victoria.
School safety, bullying, violence and victim support are issues being raised by families across Australia.
Consequences matter β but so do prevention, proper investigation, victim support and making sure children are actually safe.

NAPLAN gives cause for satisfaction.
I want to pay tribute to our dedicated teachers. They bring deep professional expertise to our classrooms and demonstrate their deep commitment to students every day.
Schools are more than bricks and mortar: they are communities. Itβs our people - our workforce, families and all who support our students who make Victorian schools great places for kids to learn and grow.
Of course, there is always more to be done and our renewed vision - βThe Education State - Excellence in every classroomβ sets out our aspirations for Victorian schools in the coming years.

Also a final big thank you to the beautiful @suzangiuliani and Susie O'Brien who in the last year have helped mould me into the education journalist I am today. There are so many other wonderful people in the Herald Sun newsroom I could thank and Iβm grateful for the support.

Making kids happy and thriving is fundamental to their education success.
Bullying in schools is a serious problem with severe negative consequences for students' mental health, academic performance, and overall well-being.
With explicit expectations and a consistent approach to bullying, weβre turning the tide against bullies.
And thatβs what we want in every school.
