This weekend, teachers from every state have booked over 3,000 students into our events so far. You are such a dedicated group!

It's always fun to see what you're booking - it's ranged from the Summer of the Seventeenth Doll  to Hippo Hippo with lots of incursions across dance, music, cultural groups, australiana...fantastic. 

Lucky students.

Not only has that not happened, with increased cuts, the reality is the Turnbull Government is actually worse. Granted Turnbull is a less embarrassing speaker to have at your event, but he's done our sector no favours. 

Read the whole sorry story here.
