Penny Weily and I attended the October AGPPA meeting in Adelaide, connecting with presidents and vice presidents from across Australia. Key discussions included changes in State and Territory governments and impact on education, school governance, teacher shortages, EBA impact and the Better Fairer Schools Agreement (BFSA). This strategic work informs AGPPA's advocacy representing 5,300 school leaders nationally.

Meg Brighton (Deputy Secretary Schools, Department of Education) provided insights on the BFSA, which focuses on three areas: Equity and Excellence, Wellbeing for Learning and Engagement and Teacher Workforce. The Federal Government has offered $16B to States and Territories, tied to reforms that would increase government funding by 2.5% of the SRS (40% for NT), aiming to achieve 100% SRS funding for all schools by 2029. While States and Territories manage their own funding distribution, non-government schools must implement these reforms as a funding condition.

The APPA National Advisory Council (NAC) has been diligently capturing APPA's expertise and insights regarding primary education through a series of position papers. 
On the 20th November APPA President, Angela Falkenberg, was excited to share APPA’s latest position papers with Federal Education Minister Jason Clare.
The four papers outline APPA’s professional perspective on 1. Curriculum, 2. Principal wellbeing and workload 3. Primary resourcing and 4. Supporting students with complex needs.
" In addition to evidence informed practice we argue for ‘practice informed evidence’. Our primary professionals have much to contribute about what works and where."
