State Council Term 2
Again both Presidents and delegates attended to get “the good oil” on what is happening in the education space. With over 120 attending, we were able to bring everyone up to date together. Unfortunately at this Council our Minister was unavailable at the last minute when the Education Council meeting was switched to Adelaide. Ken Boston was also a late withdrawal due to illness a he planned to give us some insights into the Gonski2 review.
At your local PPC meeting delegates should have informed of you of the key inputs we had from:
- Shadow Minister for Education, Jihad Dib
- Secretary
- Liana Downey – ED Delivery
- Paul Wood – Director, Early Learning & Primary Education on the Learning Progressions & modifications made to the roll out & PL
- Dep Sec Murat Dizdar
- Dep Sec Georgina Harrisson & the team working on the Implementation of the recommendations of the Ed Services review.
- Joyce Low, Director, Financial Planning & Strategy - SFLM and EfPT discussions.
- AGPPA & APPA information and
- Reports from all of our Reference Groups, Working Parties & Standing committees and our observers.
