Education & TAFE

Inner West residents have the budget blues today as the Liberal Treasurer once again overlooks our communities for vital investment and public sector workers’ wages are frozen.

Congratulations to Year 12 students across the Summer Hill electorate sitting their HSC exams.

Recently I spoke to a number of TAFE teachers who discussed with me the complete lack of resources available to TAFE students. There is a clear disconnect that exists between TAFE management and the day‑to‑day reality of the learning environment.

The Ferncourt Public School in Marrickville is kicking goals.

The NSW Federation of Community Language Schools in Dulwich Hill is providing young Portuguese speakers across the inner west with bags of groceries and shopping vouchers to help them through the Covid-19 pandemic.

Kids at the Infants' Home, Ashfield, are loving their newly resurfaced playground at Johnson House, proudly funded through a 2019 Summer Hill CBP grant.

Congratulations to Ferncourt Public School on recently securing a dedicated school crossing supervisor!

Paint the Town Read Marrickville recently celebrated the 20th National Simultaneous Storytime with an online reading of Whitney and Britney the Chicken Divas.

NSW Labor is appealing to the good will and good sense of Sydney parents to continue working from home once their kids return to school next Monday.

Principals are being forced to manage traffic around their schools as students return to classes full-time, with the Government failing to deliver on its promise of hiring new crossing supervisors and demanding parents wait outside school gates at drop off and pick up times.
