With NAPLAN this last week please remember that these tests are a snapshot in time. There are many skills and character traits these test are incapable of measuring that are more important. Children need to be viewed as a whole person not a test result!

What’s with schs dictating to parents the contents of students lunch boxes? Totally support bans on food that are a risk to anaphylactic chn but stating no home baked goods, no this and that isn’t necessary. We need to foster in chn a heathy relationship with food not demonise it

We need to rethink how we educate students. More importantly we need to find more money to support and resource our Principals & staff so they continue to meet the ever changing diverse needs of students in their classes and schools! Our staff are the unsung heroes in education!

If I’d been detained for 9 years, without charge or prospect of release, and I saw hundreds of people protesting for the release of a wealthy tennis player detained for a weekend, I would cry. I would cry until I had no tears left.
My friend Winnie never gets it wrong! Great life lessons and the only additional one I would add is to be grateful!
