From the Principal

Bonjour à tous, and Wanju

I hope that you all got out into the Djilba sunshine across the weekend to warm up a little and see the flora starting to wake from its slumber.

As we lead into our NAIDOC week celebrations, I would like to invite you all to view the video The Journey of Health and Wellbeing. The video will give you language and concepts to understand and use when having conversations with students and others who are still developing their understanding of the support needed to close the gap for Aboriginal people.

Thank you to the Executive team who covered for me while I was at the WASSEA conference last week. The conference provides a regular opportunity for me to horizon scan. The AI train is really gathering momentum. For what makes the difference to students this is the area that I found most interesting. However, there was also the usual Director General address that discussed directions and current challenges for our system. Being the data nerd that I am, I was really interested in the last session on demographics and census data trends. Growing GDP, growing population, continuing housing and labour shortages, etc….

I hope that you have a great week and get actively involved in activities to celebrate NAIDOC week.
