Thanks to our school leaders who attended the first Rural & Regional Roadshow hosted in Nowra today. I appreciated you taking the time to engage with the exec & ask questions so we can better serve you & our schools. I’m keen to connect with more staff in the weeks to come.

Regional and Rural Roadshow kicked off in Nowra … the work we are doing matters… colleagues connecting and clarifying on a range of key matters. Thankyou to the incredible Principals in the room who stepped out of their schools to engage. #now #future @dizdarm @DebSummerhayes

Teaching an instructional cue to students targets attention. With no attention, it is impossible to attain learning. The short term goal of the instructional cue is automaticity. The long term benefit is habit formation. Tim McDonald at #SBPIllawarra2024
