2,700+ of our students will be performing in The Festival of Instrumental Music this week @SydOperaHouse & we had students on @7NewsSydney & @sunriseon7. The recorder is an instrument of equity – great way to learn aspects of music without huge outlay! youtu.be/O4LXT1Ou_T8

Many of my colleagues are standing for the public education party today and my great mate @jihaddibmp for the labor party. I also saw Danny Lim on the ballot paper. Wishing them all the best today. Democracy is something to be cherished and never taken for granted.

The staffing crisis is worsening @Dom_Perrottet Student outcomes only improve when welfare & learning needs are supported by qualified teachers in every classroom. Fix the mess your govt has presided over for a decade. Our kids deserve better! #MoreThanThanks #NoTeachersNoFuture
