President’s Report:

IGNITE YOUR POTENTIAL

Public Education Week is one of the most exciting times in our primary schools. It’s our chance to celebrate, to shine a light on the incredible work happening every day, and to share with our communities the difference we make in the lives of our students.

It’s also a time to honour our diversity and reaffirm our moral imperative — that in public education, everyone is included, no matter their background, beliefs, circumstances, or needs.

This week, I’ve seen potential not just sparked, but blazing in our classrooms, playgrounds, and performance spaces. I’ve seen dancers and debaters, mathematicians and gardeners, coders and cooks, readers and researchers. And the highlight for me? Watching the pride swell in the faces of our principals as their students blossom in confidence in front of peers and parents. We truly do have the best job in the world. These moments fill our buckets and fuel our passion.

Earlier in the week, I attended the Public Education Awards with members of our Executive. It was inspiring to see so many primary schools recognised for their innovative and impactful programs. Congratulations to all the award recipients — your work is a testament to the power of public education.

Last Friday we celebrated National Primary Principals Day – a chance to acknowledge those that choose to public primary school leaders. I hope you all took a moment to reflect on why you became a Principal and the difference you make.

Next Tuesday Professor Patrick McGorry will be the guest speaker at  a seminar focused on student wellbeing and anxiety. There will also be schools sharing what is working in their schools.

The flyer for the Student Wellbeing seminar is included later in this edition.

Annual Conference:

Registrations for conference are open and filling fast. CLICK HERE TO REGISTER

Our Secretary, Murat Dizdar, will address the conference on Wednesday evening and it will be important for conference participants to attend that session to receive an update on important work happening within the Department.

I am sure you will have included the conference as an important part of your leadership development in your PDP. You will have also included the conference as part of your professional learning budget (supported by your finance committee) and you will have ensured that the PL budget has been used fairly across all staff.

You will have discussed with your DEL, as part of your PDP process, this section of the NSW Education Principals Role Description – Principals are committed to their own professional development and wellbeing in order to enhance their resilience and manage the complexity of the role.

This year’s conference program includes world-class presenters that will improve your leadership capacity to manage the complexity of your role, build you knowledge of people management, boost your motivation and positively impact your wellbeing and resilience.

I have had some questions about approvals for accommodation for the conference (This only applies if you are using School/Government funds to pay for accommodation)

• The policy and guidelines are quite clear and linked here.
• Your travel approver is your DEL.
• There isn’t a stated distance in the policy or guidelines.
• You must not approve your own PL expenses.
• You must not exceed the daily limit.
• The daily allowance has just increased to $388 for Sydney

The criteria for approval is below:

Meeting with the Acting Minister:

We  met with the Acting Minister for Education and Early Learning, the Hon. Courtney Houssos MLC, to strengthen her understanding of our Association and the vital role primary principals play in delivering the Plan for NSW Public Education. We raised critical issues including principal safety and wellbeing, the parent/community charter, and improvements to mediation and dispute resolution. We also outlined proposals to strengthen our schools’ capacity to deliver the plan — from retaining and evolving the APC&I role, to providing release time for Assistant Principals, to ensuring small schools have a second educator onsite, and resourcing leadership for preschools within primary schools.

In politics, decisions aren’t made in a single meeting. But each conversation builds momentum and relationships. Our advocacy requires persistence — repeating our case in multiple places, with multiple people, multiple times — until it gets traction.

Death of a student, staff member, community member and /or a Natural Disaster or Traumatic event:

One of the things that has surprised me since moving in to this role is the number of deaths and traumatic events that occur in our primary schools. I take my hat off to the Principals who have led their communities through such events and remind them that our Professional Support Team are available for support. To that end, there is updated support page for Principals dealing with the death of a student, staff member, community member and/or a natural disaster or traumatic event.

I recommend that all members bookmark this site for future reference.  https://education.nsw.gov.au/inside-the-department/health-and-safety/incident-emergency-management/respond-report/non-suicidal-death-or-traumatic-event-resources

PRINCIPAL INDUCTION CONFERENCE – WELCOME NEW PRINCIPALS

Last week the executive team had the opportunity to meet with and explain the work of the Association with new primary principals at their induction conference. It is always great to see the passion in these groups as they start the best job in the world. A shout out also to our colleagues who acted as facilitators for the conference, it is great to have experienced Principals working with our newest leaders.

Welcome to the ‘new’ principals below who attended the conference.

The Anxiety Project - Student Wellbeing Seminar

Please see attached flyers regarding the Seminar being held on 19 August in Surry Hills.

NSW Schools and NSW Police – Deputy President, Greg McLaren:

Still current for nearly fifteen years, the NSW Department of Education (DoE) and NSW Police (NSWPF) have a ‘Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for Information Exchange Between Schools and NSW Police’. The MoU also includes non-Government schools.

The MoU for the sharing of information between NSW Police and DoE is currently under review and expected to be operational in the near future. A schedule to the MOU has been formulated and is under review with the Heads agreement with the main MOU between the NSW Police and DoE.

NSW schools are fortunate to have one NSW Police inspector, and two NSW Police sergeants deployed generally to the DoE Health Safety and Staff Wellbeing directorate. DoE have recently undertaken a further NSW Police seconded sergeant to work with and assist the DoE Early Childhood Regulatory Authority with matters arising through their operations and inquiries. These serving police officers are rostered on the DoE Incident Report and Support Hotline 1800 811 523 for direct support to schools. Please note that all emergencies requiring a police response should be directed to ‘000’.

As Principals, we play a vital role in fostering a safe and supportive learning environment for our students. Establishing a strong partnership with local police can significantly enhance our ability to achieve this goal. Here are some key considerations for building an effective relationship with law enforcement in your school community supported by the MoU.

• Invite police officers to participate in school events, such as sports days, assemblies or fetes.
• Work with local law enforcement to develop or update your school’s emergency management plan and response.
• Collaborate with police to offer training sessions for staff and students on topics like conflict resolution, anti-bullying, cyber safety, emergency response, drug awareness, and recognising warning signs of potential issues.

This involvement and interaction can help demystify and humanise law enforcement and build rapport with students and foster positive relationships with school staff.

Beyond local constables and sergeants of various ranks, Principals and NSWPF Local Area Commanders have the primary responsibility for ensuring that information at a higher level is shared which assists:

  school staff to make schools safer; and

  the NSWPF to prevent, reduce, investigate or solve crime.

Each year, Local Area Commanders of Police are required to convene two meetings of all Principals (primary and secondary, government and nongovernment) in their Local Area Command. They should liaise with Directors Educational Leadership (DEL) about suitable dates not conflicting with NSWPPA activity. Principals are expected to attend these meetings.

The meetings should include information for Principals such as:

• what to do when an incident occurs and who to contact in given situations;
• advice about situations when the NSWPF might respond immediately and when follow-up would occur less urgently;
• how to handle and secure items confiscated from students such as weapons or suspected illegal drugs;
• how to provide advice about criminal incidents to police such as a fight between students at a local transport interchange; and
• local crime data related to schools.

Many schools can access NSW Police Youth Officers. These are usually senior constables or constables who are the first point of call for Principals with non-urgent police related matters. Please note that these officers have competing priorities with their dual general duties role when roster shortages exist at their station.

Your Local Area Commander of Police (assistant commissioner, superintendent or chief inspector (not just sergeants or constables) should be proactive with this joint relationship.  If you do not believe you or your school has a working relationship with your local police responding to your school’s need, please take respectful and appropriate action. Raise this with matter your DEL and discuss this at your local PPC meeting to then be brought to the attention of NSWPPA State Executive.

Compiled by Greg McLaren using input from the MoU and DoE corporate staff.

School Funds and Staff ‘Wellbeing’ Purchases – Deputy President, Greg McLaren:

Be careful what you purchase as you will be accountable for that purchase. That accountability should have a high bar.

Principals are encouraged to make email contact with their DEL before venturing into a purchase using school funds which may be perceived or directly deemed as a potential gift, benefit and/or hospitality to staff. Request written direction as evidence back from your DEL should you decide to make such a purchase. Such purchases should always remain the property of the school (DoE) and conveyed to staff that is the expected condition.

Abstractly, as we apply the NSW DoE Staff Wellbeing Strategy eighteen months into its release we seek ways to improve staff wellbeing concerns but with cost neutral expectation from our employer. There is no simple answer to that dilemma but we as Principals need to be careful especially with actual or perceived use of school funds.

It is suggested that in recent times Principals have been more accountable to our employer using school funds than ever. What is coming under question are purchases viewed as a potential gift, benefit and/or hospitality to staff using school funds. In most cases the purchase and even subsidising for staff wellbeing needs together with even receiving gifts does not align with several guidelines and policies. Misunderstanding this can breach section 5.10 of the NSW DoE Code of Ethics and Conduct.

As Principals we need to continually be vigilant. What essentially needs to be ongoingly considered by Principals is protecting the public purse as if it is your own. Similarly, when we go shopping, we do not throw our money about as if it belongs to someone else.

What is acceptable standard of decision making may differ between Principals, so the test of what a ‘reasonable person’ would be applied in conjunction with policy and procedures to judge a decision. Fundamentally, a reasonable person test is a legal standard used to determine if someone acted with the appropriate level of care in a given situation to be determined on the basis of what the Principal knew or ought to have known at the time.

As Principals we should be aware of school executive, teachers and support staff using school funds as we as Principals are accountable for that spending.

A simple unofficial checklist:

• Do you have to spend the school funds?
• Do you have authority to spend the school funds?
• Is there a compelling need?
• Is the purchasing price value for money?
• Are you spending this year’s money on this year’s students?
• Will the purchase benefit students more than staff?
• Is the purchase compliant with Financial Management Procedures (FISH)?
• Is the purchase compliant with the purchasing policy?

The above checklist explores a greater test than the current DOE purchasing principles: https://education.nsw.gov.au/inside-the-department/edconnect/purchasing

*Further information and policies around the decisions relating to the use of public resources and the use of public monies, include:

The Financial Management Procedures (FMP)

In the Finance in Schools (FiSH) Handbook:

Determining financial authority….

Principals are the accountable officers for the management of school finances and are accountable to the department and to the community for school funds (public money). This responsibility cannot be delegated. The principal is responsible for:

• protecting and maximising the use of available resources (public funds)

 In the Financial Management (schools) procedures:

 Purchasing Considerations: (FMP)

 5.9 When purchasing goods or services, special considerations apply to:

• purchasing for personal use or gain – staff must not purchase for private or personal use with department funds under any circumstances

In the Code of Ethics and Conduct

7.6 Public Resources

The resources you use at work are publicly funded. This includes your time.

 As a department employee, you must:

• use public resources economically, efficiently and effectively for official purposes
• make decisions relating to the use of public resources that are reasonable, authorised and can withstand public scrutiny
• not use departmental equipment for personal or commercial income-generating activity

5.16 Use of public resources

You must use public resources in an efficient, effective and prudent way.

You must not use public resources – including such things as money, property, equipment or consumables – for an unauthorised purpose. You must not use your position, or access to government and/or department resources and information, for personal gain or the gain of another person.

When procuring goods and services for your employer, you must ensure you:

• declare any conflicts of interest in accordance with the department’s conflict of interest policy (if any)
• comply with the applicable NSW procurement board policies and directions as well as your agencies procurement policies (if any)
• comply with the principles of probity and fairness
• obtain value for money.

You are required to comply with this Code, your legislative obligations, the NSW Government Procurement Policy framework, and the department’s procedures as listed in further information below.

Employees must ensure that purchases made with school funds are sufficiently linked to student outcomes and do not benefit employees personally.

The purchase even subsidising of items for staff eg.staff shirts, may also be identified as a Fringe Benefit. See the FBT page for more details:
