Last week the RI PJP Principals met in Brisbane for the first of their quarterly meetings for 2019.

Discussions included the current status of state and federal funding arrangements, results of the high-level analysis of enrolment, attendance and Year 12 outcomes data and an overview of the Non-Government Reform Support Fund (NGRSF) projects for 2019.

Professor Elizabeth Labone, Dean of Education at ACU attended the meeting to discuss the changes as a result of the Teacher Education Ministerial Advisory Group (TEMAG) reforms in teacher quality and professional experience with schools and what the future of initial teacher education pre-service teacher placements and formalised agreements with universities might look like.

The Principals will meet again in Term 2.
