I sit down for a leisurely Sunday morning coffee and notice a random (probably paid) advertisement from a tutoring group on my FB feed. For years I’ve felt like responding and, for some reason, today I did.

The NSW curriculum review recommends students be assigned tasks based on their ability, rather than their age. This approach recognises the progress individuals make over the course of a year.

Some news…after more than 40 years in ed, I’ve made the call to retire as @CatholicEdParra Exec Director at the end of 2022. It has been an honour. 🙏to all I’ve worked and dreamt with. I’ll keep challenging thinking so school can be meaningful for all students. #education
