As you are aware the Federal Government, through the Education Council, is reviewing the Melbourne Declaration. Whilst not looking at a huge change, a re-tweak is envisaged. Across the nation workshops are being held to gather input and determine what is missing, where we need to re-focus and actions.

Minister Tehan hosted a workshop in the Sydney CBD at the Masonic Centre where Deputy President Robyn Evans, AGPPA President Ian Anderson and I attended. Michelle Bruniges, our ex DG and now Secretary of the Federal Education Department also attended.

Our Minister Mitchell hosted two of the Workshops, one in Cabramatta and a second in Tamworth. SPC President Craig Petersen & I attended the Tamworth workshop with local students, principals and parent/carers form all three school sectors.
