POINTS TO PONDER

All the very best for the upcoming school year to our teachers and support staff who are resuming  duty for the upcoming school year. And all the very best to those starting out on teaching careers in the NT. I hope the year goes well and that you all have cause to rejoice in your calling to the greatest of all professions.

School has just gone back for 2025

Education Minister Uibo (NT News 22/1) is reported as saying that 32 executive contract principals signed up to the VOLUNTARY pay freeze.  There was no ‘voluntary’ about it! It was demanded under duress that principals agree to the freeze – or else!

Selina Ubio is now the Leader of the ALP Opposition with Jo Hersey the CLP Minister for Education. This salary freeze demand was eventually resolved.

Make balanced decisions about educational appointments and teaching positions.   Make sure that your awareness is balanced. There is a reality and responsibility about education that goes beyond romantic notions.

This advice still stands – and is still needed.
