Education & TAFE

A six-year old boy was struck by a vehicle outside Haberfield Public School.

This week and next, students are celebrating orientation, O-Week, on university campuses across New South Wales. 

Local Member for Summer Hill, Jo Haylen, is calling on the new education minister to immediately fix the school maintenance backlog as local children are forced to return to dilapidated classrooms. 

Jo Haylen, Member for Summer Hill, today raised concerns about the Greater Sydney Commission’s plans for the inner west.

The Commission released its draft plans for Sydney earlier today, indicating rapid increases in density across the South, West and Inner West of Sydney, with few details on community infrastructure including schools and open spaces.

The plans are open for community feedback until March 2017. 

Jo Haylen, Member for Summer Hill, today condemned the decision of St Paul’s College not to participate in the University of Sydney cultural review being undertaken by Former Sex Discrimination Commissioner Elizabeth Broderick AO.

Maintaining the best standards in public education must be the number one priority of government.

Every student has the right to feel safe at school, irrespective of their race, religious beliefs, gender identity or sexuality. 

Every student has a right to feel safe at school - Irrespective of their race, religious beliefs, their gender identity or sexuality.

The Government is pumping density all through the inner west but there's no sign of planning for the community infrastructure we need.

I was proud to host some of Summer Hill's most outstanding Indigenous students this week and to announce Isaac Bamblett of De La Salle College Ashfield as the Summer Hill Aboriginal Student of the Year.
