The Department values opportunities to work with parents and carers in supporting student learning. The following resources are examples of support provided to enhance the engagement of parents with their child’s education: The Everyday Maths Hub (at https://education.nsw.gov.au/teaching-and- learning/curriculum/key-learning-areas/mathematics/everyday-maths- hub#%3Cspan2) is an engaging and dynamic online platform for parents and carers of children in Kindergarten through to Year 10.

Learning from home - learning packages for parents and carers (at https://education.nsw.gov.au/teaching-and-learning/learning-from-home/learning-at- home) contain explicit teaching activities with self-guided videos to compliment the learning program provided by schools. They have been developed for parents and carers to use to ensure learning continuity in response to learning from home. The Literacy and Numeracy website (at https://education.nsw.gov.au/teaching-and- learning/curriculum/literacy-and-numeracy) has resources to assist parents and carers in supporting their child’s development of literacy and numeracy skills.

Schools also continue to provide a range of opportunities for parents to engage with the school and the decision making process to support their child’s education. This includes participation in school Parents and Citizens Associations, opportunities to attend meet the teacher and information nights and providing feedback to help inform the school’s situational analysis and School Improvement Plan.

    Spring Edition – No: 48 2015 Commonwealth Vocational Education Scholarship 2015. I was awarded with the Premier Teaching Scholarship in Vocational Education and Training for 2015. The purpose of this study tour is to analyse and compare the Vocational Education and Training (Agriculture/Horticulture/Primary Industries) programs offered to school students in the USA in comparison to Australia and how these articulate or prepare students for post school vocational education and training. I will be travelling to the USA in January 2016 for five weeks. While there, I will visit schools, farms and also attend the Colorado Agriculture Teachers Conference on 29-30th January 2016. I am happy to send a detailed report of my experiences and share what I gained during this study tour with all Agriculture teachers out there. On the 29th of August I went to Sydney Parliament house where I was presented with an award by the Minister of Education Adrian Piccoli.
