B. I remain hopeful for our future, even if the exact roadmap isn't clear. I believe there is a need to consciously choose a new path, one where equity and inclusion aren't just ideals, but our reality. #edusky #eduskyau
A. While I value the opportunity to celebrate our nationโs vibrant diversity this Australia Day, I am saddened and find it difficult to reconcile the festivities with the ongoing cycles of disadvantage and hurt for many of our citizens. #edusky #eduskyau
Day One with students back at uni for 2026 with pre service teachers. Lecturing Sociology in Education intensive. #eduSKY #eduSKYau
I am so sad to hear of the passing of Greg Whitby. He was such an influential person in Australian education. #EduskyAU

Great to catch up with @sharoncooper.bsky.social at the Sydney Thunder match tonight. #BBL
Post-Christmas bliss after a chaotic yet lovely family get together. Now enjoying the cricket after a win by the Illawarra Hawks in the basketball last night. Slowly feeling relaxed & ready for the rest of the holiday season, shaking off the stressors of the year.๐๐๐ #ChristmasVibes #RelaxationMode
Great to be at the game and see the Illawarra Halls take a solid win over the Perth Wildcats 120 to 88. It was a packed house that came out to see the Hawks consolidate the No.1 position on the #nbl ladder.
I spent the afternoon with my parents & I am grateful to have my Dad home from the hospital after a long stretch. They're trying to find joy in their aging & the aging of others. I have come away brainstorming ways my students can support older adults in our community. #EduSky #community #edchat
When unexpected challenges arise, it's easy to get sidetracked and disheartened. Keep coming back to the focus: creating a better system for our students, staff, and families. Plan for the worst but expect the best! #education #leadership #EduSky #EduSkyAU #edchat #edlead
Seeing the joy on my students faces. Seeing staff step up into new roles and grow in their professional capacity. Seeing relationship with my school community grow. #EduSkyAu #EduSky
Today I feel stretched & thankful for the opportunity I have to positively impact students. Yes, time poverty is real with admin, tech, curriculum, student discipline & parent concerns plus juggling the normal decisions daily is a challenge but our roles are incredibly significant. #EduSky #edchat
What AI would be suggested to use to create accurate meeting notes, minutes and summaries during in person staff or parent meetings? #EduSky #edchat #edtech
Parenting grown children and late teens is a rollercoaster! ๐ข They're adults making kid decisions and not open to seeking advice from us. Any advice on navigating this crazy phase? #ParentingStruggles #AdultingIsHard #EduSky
Welcome!!!! It's a community because we make it one. Be sure to use the spreadsheet tinyurl.com/edusky it randomizes daily to help you find educators to encourage. Also, click on ppl you follow profile to see their starter pack!
There are so many excellent educational starter packs that are unique to Bluesky. It is a great way to begin growing your #PLN and connect with some outstanding educators. #EduSky #edtech #edchat #EduSkyAU #EduSkyAI
Feeling completely drained after two solid weeks of solo parenting ๐ด One more week until my wife returns from her overseas adventure. Juggling school leadership, camp, and editing reports on top of it! Looking forward to the slower pace of the coming season to get into some of my new reads. #EduSky
Iโm so grateful for the incredible work teachers do every day. They go above & beyond to support, protect, & inspire students. Itโs an honour to be part of a profession that equips young people with the tools & character to succeed. #EduSky #edchat #edlead #TeacherAppreciation #education #teacher
So good to see you again and hear about the adventures you have been on.

Great to catch up with @hostbrian.bsky.social in person. Weโve been wanting to do this since 2017, but never been able to quite make it happen.

Just attended one of the most informative Child Protection courses conducted by the Halloran Morrissey Group. It was some of the most useful learning I have recently had with lots of useful resources. #childsafe #edchat #EduSky
As a parent of children of similar ages, I feel heartbroken for the parents, friends and families of Holly Bowles and Bianca Jones. They were on a trip of a lifetime and their lives have been cut short. Saddened to hear they were part of a group poisoned by methanol spiked drinks.
If you scroll through the #EduSky feed you will be able to find people who have posted them. @alicekeeler.com @brookssensei.bsky.social have created a few collections of educators but there are many other packs listed in the feed.
So grateful for the team that put together our Year 6 graduation last night. It was a pinnacle event in their primary school journey that students will remember. #EduSky
