Dear Colleagues
I hope Term 3 is going well for you and your community. At this time of teacher shortages, I am sure we will all find the upcoming recruitment stage of the year a real challenge. I hope things will go well for you during the processes internally and externally.
CaSPA has recently been in consultation with NCEC, AITSL and The Department for Education in regard to the teacher shortage, Principal and Staff wellbeing and Initial Teacher Education (ITE). In addition, the Coalition of Australian Principals (CAP) have been attempting to organise a meeting with Minister Clare to discuss these issues from a practitioner perspective. CaSPA believes that it is essential for the Minister hears the views of Principals working in schools in developing future education policies.
Recently CaSPA launched its Social Action and Professional Learning Scholarship Funding for 2023. Please find the Application Forms in this Newsletter. More detail is available on the CaSPA Website if needed. https://caspa.schoolzineplus.com/introduction
Best wishes for the remainder of Term 3.
Blessings to all

Digital technologies are changing the way teachers do their work and learn as they work.
But not much is known about this.
We want to find out how you learn as you work. We invite you to complete an anonymous online survey (10-15mins of your time).
Your responses are important to us!
