Autism Inclusion Teacher Update 

On 30 October, I will be attending an Autism Inclusion Teacher (AIT) conference in Adelaide. 

The conference will help AITs to: 

• connect and collaborate with other AIT leaders 
• develop their knowledge and skills around autism and anxiety 
• understand action research 

I look forward to attending the conference and bringing back the learning back to LNPS. 

National Student Voice and Learner Agency Workshops

The Fisher professional learning team have nominated 8 students from Fisher to participate in the upcoming Learner Agency Workshops on 6 November. 

These opportunities have been created by the Chief Executive of the Department for Education, Martin Westwell to enable students to continue their involvement in the discussion on the purpose of public education in South Australia, and in particular learner agency. 

I look forward to supporting students during this workshop and ensuring that LNPS students share their voice to inform the purpose of public education in South Australia. 

Please keep an eye out for consent forms if your child has been nominated to participate. 

This term, I have also supported 19 students from Fisher to apply for the National Student Voice (NSV) by running multiple application writing workshops. 

The NSV is intended to be a mechanism for empowering student voice and placing student perspectives' on the national policy agenda to inform the work of Education Ministers. The group will meet with Education Ministers twice yearly, once in person (may involve interstate travel, parents/carers are able to accompany & the department will cover travel costs) in the second half of the year to coincide with the Education Ministers meeting. 

Please keep your fingers crossed for the students from LNPS who have applied to win a position. I wish all the applicants the best of luck!
