I want to thank our staff who returned to work most of this week to be ready for learning from home next week. It’s the people who create a great school. Time to recognise the workload, commitment and expertise of teaching, admin and support staff who work with our students.

Disciplinary literacy - The way that a historian reads, writes and thinks is different to how a mathematician operates. Each subject context has different needs and requirements. It's useful to point this out and have students (and sometimes teachers!) reflect on this.

Producing/ directing a doco on the Order of Australia (Ch7 midday today) was uplifting ... meeting people like community health worker Dr Smita Shah OAM and students at Rooty Hill High School made our team feel good about our country.

The ultimate goal of learning is transfer. This is how it happens.

I think your explanation on costings needs to be widely published as the MSM are big on costings and gotcha moments based on them. This election it is turning out to be the MSM vs the Australian people and journalists need to be called out.

Fantasic leaders @RootyHillHS learning to be SALSA Peer Leaders. So timely with the new stats showing 1 in 10 YP participate in 1hr/day mod-vig phys activity. One solution = students deliver phys act lessons to other students @smitasydney – at Sydney, New South Wales
👏👏 to our school principals, who are doing a stellar job in keeping the schools functioning and looking out for their staff and students in these challenging times of floods and covid @MelissaSweetDr @chriscawsey @BrendaQuayle1 @PreslandChris @tim_lloyd2
Hoping that everyone is safe from the floods. Thinking of all the teachers, school staff and schools we work with that have been impacted @smitasydney

Congratulations to students in Year 12 2021 on their HSC results. For the second (and harder) COVID year the number of students in the top 3 bands increased, early entry offers confirmed. It doesn’t matter where you start, it is where you go that matters. #Together

Thanks @RootyHillHS students for making us feel special as we walked back to F2F together this week.
Enabling better health outcomes for adolescents does not happen without the committed and caring teachers, who work with them on a day-to-day basis. We just compliment what PDHPE teachers are already delivering to their students. Thank you! @smitasydney

Authenticity is more than speaking. Authenticity is also about doing. Every decision we make says something about who we are.
