If you and your team can make a meaningful and sustainable contribution in 1-2 challenging areas over 1-3 years, that is remarkable and praiseworthy work. Being drawn into 20 different areas will result in change fatigue and little to no impact. Do less but better.

The same question needs to be asked of Primary Schools. Zero risk culture has unforeseen impacts on child wellbeing and capability.

Parents send us the best kids they have -- the ones they love the most. When we’re mindful of that… we can be a little more patient, a little more tender, and a little more compassionate.

I’m not sure if you caught #BackToNatureAU on the ABC tonight, it’s a beautiful series to watch (it’s on iview), soothing for the soul, and after this news and the lockdown, we need it. Hopefully it will spark that protectiveness in us to look after our Country and the world 💚🌿

5/5 interest that is productive. Their worst idea might end up being more productive than your superior idea. Teaching is complex work and schools exist for a reason. Being a parent and a teacher is difficult. Be kind to yourself and flexible with your child.
