Last week, I attended a seminar that saw two of our Year 5 students, Juliette and Matisse confidently present about the meaningful action taken from their learning to School Leaders from the Independent School sector and world-renowned education thought-leader and author Professor Yong Zhao..

I have never met a teacher who doesn’t have only the very best interests of children at their core of all they do. They are tireless, selfless, multi-tasking heroes, compassionate, talented and driven professionals. Their days are long and their tasks are many. The role of a teacher is vast and the complexities faced everyday in schools is ever growing.

The opportunity to be Acting Principal has certainly been an opportunity to stay curious and learn about Annesley, the learning, the community and the history. In this learning, one thing that has been evident. Annesley is filled with courageous learners.
