I would also like to acknowledge Elders – past and present. Ant Dry welcomed all delegates and guests to the 2017 TASSO Conference, AGM and 70th Celebration and introduced the Minister for Education and Training the Honourable Jeremy Rockliff to officially open the Conference. OFFICIAL OPENING Minister for Education and Training the Hon. Jeremy Rockliff thanked Ant Dry for the opportunity to open Conference and congratulated TASSO on 70 strong years of excellent advocacy and strong support for public education, offering his apology for needing to leave for another ministerial appointment. Minister Rockliff acknowledged Ant Dry, Lisa Gillard and Jenny Gale [Secretary, Department of Education], Steve Biddulph, Michelle O’Byrne Shadow Minister for Education, representatives of State School Associations and thanked them for their contribution, and Phillip Spratt President of ACSSO. The Minister continued his address mentioning the following: • His appreciation of the 70 years work done insuring parents have a strong and committed voice not just your own school but all schools. Parents are the first educator and the existence of TASSO for 70 is testament to the continuing relevance of parents. • Recognised that this is his fourth conference address and that education is fundamental to the success and growth of Tasmania and every student has a right to a quality education. 53.7% of high schools have extended to years 11 and 12. There is excellent collaboration between colleges and extended high schools, with teggana Collective being a good example. Children are staying longer, and quality education is vitally important, and commitment to further improvement. Change has happened in past 3 ½ years and must continue, and it will. • 2016 Education Act reflects what is currently happening and looks to the future. July 10th raised educational requirements, reconciliation regarding attendance, behaviour expectations, dual enrolments for disability, are some of the Bill’s strengths. Ongoing consultation beyond passing the Bill, has resulted in the Working Together for 3 Year Old’s Initiative lead to greater access to high quality early learning. • Keeping students at school is key. Engagement and satisfaction of students means positive outcomes. The way to break disadvantage is: quality and early access to education, The Early Care Sector and DoE can codesign a program; investment to increase student wellbeing and engagement; Principals need greater support; Child and Student Wellbeing Unit; School Nurses being extended to other schools, focus on school wide prevention and detection; and promote a culture of life lone learning. 4 • An agenda item listed for today is Levies, the Minister supports no student being disadvantaged and looks forward to the outcome. • Thanked TASSO for support for the Disability and Inclusion Advisory Panel. DoE is partnering with the PLI and UTas to develop an inclusive element in training. Improvements have been made but we can do better, there is a need for it and investment. • Capital investment in schools needs to continue, ensuring contemporary learning spaces with disability access. A lot of schools were built in early 60’s and not much has changed since. • Raising the level of parent engagement particularly in early years, LiFT is exciting, empowers and is a positive influence on parents. • As a Government we have set ambitious aims which we all have a responsibility in achieving. We are genuinely encouraged by TASSO participation in this and look forward to working together. • In closing, - this is the fourth TASSO Conference I have attended and with the upcoming State Election I take nothing for granted. I put my hand up every 4 years as does Michelle O’Byrne. Experience as Minister for Education has opened my eyes and I have enjoyed the experience, proud of my contribution but now have a greater sense for needs based funding, appreciation of Principals and staff. Public Education is the only effective vehicle to support families need. Thanks to everyone for their contribution. Minister Rockliff agreed to take questions from the floor. Amina Keygan Burnie PS Association Chairperson – Research shows the single most predictive measure for student success is parent engagement, what wrap around service and when will it roll out? Minister – LiFT, LiL, B4, Early Learning Centres and the B8 strategy exist. There is a lot of focus on the early years and interest in the new Working Together for 3 Year Olds initiative. TasCOSS

LABOR LEADER Tasmania’s biggest economic challenge before COVID-19 was job creation. The pandemic has only compounded the problem. Creating jobs and getting more people into secure and stable jobs is Labor’s number one priority. But they must be good jobs. COVID-19 exposed the weaknesses in our economy: an over reliance on certain industries, high rates of casualisation and underemployment. We need to address these issues in our recovery or we will remain exposed to repeating the mistakes of the past.

  • MEDIA STATEMENT Peak Body Welcomes Upper House Support of Pill Testing Motion
    MEDIA STATEMENT Peak Body welcomes Upper House support of pill testing motion The Alcohol, Tobacco and other Drugs Council of Tasmania has congratulated the Tasmanian Legislative Council members who supported Member for Murchison, Ruth Forrest’s pill testing motion this evening. ATDC chief executive, Alison Lai said that while the final motion stopped short of calling on the Tasmanian Government to trial pill testing during this festival season, she was very pleased with the outcome, which would assist in keeping a Tasmanian pill testing trial a possibility in the future. “First and foremost we are respectful of the Tasmanian Government’s position that they are not ready, at this stage, to conduct a trial of pill testing,” Ms Lai said. “We appreciate that this is not a matter that will be able to be resolved before the upcoming festival season, and we thank them for their ongoing commitment to reviewing the evidence as it becomes available. “The concept of pill testing continues to generate strong interest and opinions across the broader community, and these diverse views are being mirrored in our parliament. “It is still our position that there is sufficient evidence to conduct a trial of pill testing in Tasmania and we remain committed to working with government to address any concerns that they may have. “We are encouraged by tonight’s outcome, which sends a clear message that the Upper House wants to see strategies introduced to reduce the harms of illicit drugs at our music festivals and events, and that there continues to be broad support for keeping pill testing on the table as a potential option for the future.
