 For Education Leaders
Education’s Trifecta  The three guiding lights for education are: wonder, resilience and mastery. The trifecta comes from observing toddlers. From birth on, children wonder about the world around them, have the resilience to pursue learning and they master skill after skill on their new life journey. Without the trifecta, education falls into the trap of starting instruction with the content to be mastered. Social Media is Changing - Are Parents Ready?  On December 10, long overdue reforms to children’s access to social media will finally begin. But after years of unregulated exposure - despite consistent research and advocacy warning governments of the risks - families now face a much harder transition. While these changes are seen as a first step, they are designed to protect children, yet many parents may feel unprepared for the sudden impact. Commonwealth Teaching Scholarships Open  Applications are open for the 2026 round of the Commonwealth Teaching Scholarships Program, delivering up to $40,000 for teaching students.  The New ‘Talk’ Should be About Social Media  Australia and Norway are about to embark on a massive experiment by setting age limits for socials. Program Minting Indigenous Engineers  The Indigenous Australian Engineering School (IAES) has run for almost three decades in NSW through UNSW, the University of Sydney, Newcastle University and at Curtin University in WA, inspiring dozens of Indigenous kids often from rural communities to pursue engineering as a career. From Candles to Compassion  Each year, as the school year winds down, educators receive tokens of appreciation such as mugs, candles and chocolates from grateful families. While the sentiment behind these gestures is deeply valued, one Melbourne teacher saw an opportunity to turn that generosity into something even more impactful.
