Dragon and Boy - Journey of Discovery

Over the weekend I headed off to Canberra to attend the opening of an exhibition of new work by Solomon Grainger.

Griffith Central Preschool Opening and Farewell

Aunty Gloria, John and Adrian, family and friends, thank you and I apologise for the next few minutes as I share what the last 30 plus years was like and what it has given me.  I also apologise at the start for the tears, those that know me understand that I'm a sook when I stand in front of crowds and even gatherings of friends is no better.

It's Time

On January 13th 1986, I walked through the doors of Griffith Child Care Centre as its new Manager, previously I had worked on a Mobile Children's Service and at TAFE Griffith Campus teaching the first intake of Child Care Students and on February 13th 2017, will be the final day of continuous service with what became Griffith Child Care Centre Inc and its two EC services - Dorothy Waide Centre for Early Learning and Griffith Central Preschool and the family support program Griffith Connections.

Thank you Minister.

Can I just how disappointed I am at the cabinet reshuffle today. It's all about politics, not about the right person for the job, and even in political party's, the slicing and dicing about who deserves this and who gets that, who gets my retribution is played just as hard as across debating table.

Our Education Future - what is possible

This week I had the opportunity to participate in the thinking on the Future of Education in our community. I have long believed that our system is failing young people in how it prepares them for the world of their future.
