New beginnings...

And just like that the end of Term 2 is upon us.

Last month saw a change of Federal Government, and we are pleased to welcome the Hon. Jason Clare MP to the position of Minister for Education. We were encouraged by his announcement last week to expand the current Chaplaincy Program to include appropriately trained and qualified secular workers as a funded option for our government schools. It’s a good first step in ensuring all of our students feel included, welcomed, and safe when seeking help at school. We also welcome and look forward to working with the Hon. Anne Aly in the area of Early Childhood Education.

At this time we would like to thank the outgoing Shadow Minister for Education, Tanya Plibersek, for her dedication to public education, and her deep engagement with ACSSO over the last few years. We wish her well with her new portfolio of Environment and Water.
