🌟 What a fantastic day! 🌟 We had the pleasure of welcoming 120 participants to the NPQ Specialist Consolidation Conference for Cohort 6 today! 🎉 It was an action-packed day filled with presentations on implementation projects across a full suite of specialist NPQs, including LT, LTD, LBC, LL, and LPM. A special highlight was hosting the first-ever full cycle for Leading Primary Maths participants! ✏️📚 We’re sure there were tons of valuable insights and takeaways shared that will benefit everyone on so many levels. A huge thank you to everyone who attended — your energy and engagement made the day even more special! 🙌 Also, a massive shoutout to our incredible facilitators for sharing their knowledge and expertise. Their hard work extends beyond the conference. Good luck in those preparations for the final assessment period! 🍀 Here’s to continued learning, growth, and collaboration! 🌱👏 #NPQ #EducationExcellence #LeadingTheWay #TeacherDevelopment

🌍 Let's make a difference together! 🌱 In our commitment to becoming more sustainable, we're asking for your help. 👉 If you attend any sessions at Balcarras Teaching School Hub we are kindly asking that you bring your own reusable cup/mug and water bottle to reduce waste and contribute to a cleaner planet. 🚨 Scary Fact: Worldwide, 80% of unrecycled plastic bottles end up slowly decomposing in landfills. And when we say slowly, we mean slowly—the average plastic bottle takes 450 years to break down! If we went back 450 years, Queen Elizabeth I would still be on the English throne, and Australia hadn't yet been discovered by Europeans! (Geographical) Let’s reduce our footprint, one reusable mug at a time. 🥤 Remember to bring your mug, and as Starbucks says: "Grab Your Cup If You Know What's Up." #GrabYourCup #SustainabilityMatters #EcoFriendly #ReduceWaste
