DG meeting

Last week I was privileged to spend an hour with the Director - General of the Department of Education Queensland Micheal De ‘Ath and Acting Deputy Director General State Schools Sharon Schimming. We talked candidly around a range of topics.

Micheal shared:

• Urgency to support our most vulnerable students in our schools and to work collaboratively with our surrounding state schools in our communities to solve our challenges
• Early childhood and transitions for families
• Staffing shortage challenges including recruitment to rural and remote communities
• Retaining and building the reputation of State Education. 

All exciting spaces to watch under his new leadership. I loved our similar values about our love of working with children and passion for our industry.

School review report

Last week I received the official report from our 3-day whole school review. This includes our key findings and celebrations. We now will use the rest of this year to collectively action our next steps for the following four years. Congratulations to the whole community for this amazing feedback on our school.  The full report and attached documents are now available to view on our school website.
