69.7% of Australia's education system is made up of government schools. Surely we have to get the resourcing and funding right to help the majority of our students have every chance of a rich and rewarding education... right Prime Minister @AlboMP ? #ForEveryChild

English teachers, you’ll love our 10-lesson The Last Daughter unit created with Australians Together. Sensitively explore the themes in the top #documentary and dive deep into story structure, characterisation, representation and interwoven narratives. go.cool.org/TLDtw2

You told us that our old website was hard to use (and it was). So we’ve created a new site that will better help you do what you do - teach young people about important, real-world topics - easier. We hope you love it. 🩷💙 go.cool.org/Coollftw #education #teaching

My school does this whole school musical every 2 years. It’s ridiculously big & a huge amount of work…BUT it is student driven (& written) & EVERY child has a role…on stage, back stage, costumes, orchestra, props, sets, etc. It is SO special! I’m so proud of our staff and kids!

How's your day been, Cool Community? We've been busy beavers, filming new PD content just for you. It's been 'lights, camera, action!' and we're loving it. Eyes peeled. It's on the way very soon. 👀

"We let the proponents of standards, metrics and testing dictate the direction of public education at our own peril. It’s time to move away from the obsession with regulation and oversight."
