Week 6 saw representation from NSWPPA State Executive meet with Minister Sarah Mitchell and her team. We had the opportunity to discuss in depth some high level issues regarding: Principal Classification and Reclassification, attracting and retaining teachers. The COVID ILSP initiative was also discussed at length – the impact of the initiative and the funding investment. The candid conversation also led to the need for a significant public promotion of the positives of the teaching profession for the future. Minister Mitchell offered an update on Premier Perrottet’s Pre- School announcement and where they are in planning and action to date. The work in this space has COMMENCED!
