Everyday interactions with staff and students about even the most mundane things. It is the forming of connections and listening to the life of others that supports and boosts them.

The time with staff away from mindless compliance drivel. Fewer sermonds from the mount of where education is going and how we have to make animplementation plan. No wasting money on the Academy.

I appreciate the opportunity to connect with families and community members, working together to create a strong school community. The integration of technology and addressing mental health challenges. Sustained funding for ongoing professional learning for all teachers and school leaders

I enjoy developing and implementing strategies to improve school performance and create a positive learning environment. Access and knowledge gaps in digital literacy and devices AI adaptive systems

I find great fulfillment in shaping a positive and engaging learning environemnt for students and staff, while also contributing to the broader community. Bullying in various forms (physical, verbal, social and cyber), can negatively impact student well-being and learning. The rise of technology has expanded the reach and scope of bullying. Ensure there is the digital infrastructure in place to meet the changing technical needs of schools, learners and teachers

I love creating a school culture where students feel safe, valued and supported. Schools will need to adapt to changing demographics, including increasing diversity and addressing the needs of specific populations, such as Indigenous and migrant communities.  To address and align with evolving global needs, such as AI integration, workforce evolution and climate change

The opportunity to positively impact the lives of students and staff, fostering a vibrant and supportive learning environment. The integration of technology and addressing mental health challenges. To be comfortable with technology and understand its impact on the workplace and the future of work.
