(gentle music)

2
00:00:13,030 --> 00:00:17,010
- How much do you value school education?

3
00:00:17,010 --> 00:00:19,270
Then, I'd like you to consider the impact

4
00:00:19,270 --> 00:00:22,400
of recent crisis events on our schools:

5
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:27,143
bushfires, smoke, and school
closures due to COVID-19.

6
00:00:28,250 --> 00:00:30,100
The challenge for our schools

7
00:00:30,100 --> 00:00:33,590
has been how to maintain
quality teaching and learning

8
00:00:33,590 --> 00:00:35,543
during these crisis events.

9
00:00:36,550 --> 00:00:40,920
I am absolutely convinced that
the role of school leadership

10
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:44,690
is crucial in guiding and
supporting our schools

11
00:00:44,690 --> 00:00:46,413
through these difficult times.

12
00:00:47,300 --> 00:00:48,740
For that reason,

13
00:00:48,740 --> 00:00:50,800
I need some research funding

14
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:54,620
to interview and survey a
range of local school leaders

15
00:00:54,620 --> 00:00:56,910
from our primary and secondary schools

16
00:00:56,910 --> 00:00:59,600
to examine how they've been able to change

17
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:03,450
and adapt their leadership
to meet these challenges.

18
00:01:03,450 --> 00:01:05,080
Using this information,

19
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:08,550
I'm going to design a
practical leadership manual

20
00:01:08,550 --> 00:01:13,190
with a range of effective
crisis management strategies

21
00:01:13,190 --> 00:01:17,020
that school leaders can use
in their day-to-day practice,

22
00:01:17,020 --> 00:01:22,020
to keep their school safe,
resilient, and most importantly,

23
00:01:22,630 --> 00:01:24,520
engaged in learning.

24
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:28,900
Strong and effective school
leadership is a benefit to all

25
00:01:28,900 --> 00:01:30,810
in our school communities,

26
00:01:30,810 --> 00:01:34,490
especially students whose education

27
00:01:34,490 --> 00:01:38,200
is vital for the future of our society.

28
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:41,282
That's why I value school education.
