QASSP President's Update 9 December 2011

Dear Members
   I would like to wish everyone a safe and well earned Christmas holiday.
   If we look back to January, I think we would all agree that it has been a challenging year for many of our schools and school leaders. The resilience and positive attitudes of our principals, other school leaders and staff has been quite remarkable. However, I do know that many of our members are completely exhausted, need to switch off, recharge their batteries and really have a good break. Please make sure that you do this – you will be a much better leader in 2012 if you do.
   Have a wonderful few weeks, and I look forward to representing you and working with you again next year. READ MORE
