Most states only have a week of holidays left....Sometimes because you're on holidays you take the time to think about work.... Teachers are so conscientious!
If you're thinking of events for Terms 3 & 4, especially Term 3, best to do that soon!
It's such a pity NAIDOC week falls in the school holidays, though no doubt some schools will incorporate indigenous themes on their return.

These 2 brilliant shows are offered for students by some of our most prestigious companies. Hurry!
