You can't "waste your vote" in Australia. You can choose your own preferences and direct your vote however you wish. A stronger understanding of preferential voting helps our democracy. youtu.be/4yHQyZjVtYc?...

A5. Ask students what their 'contexts' and lives are like.. what are they interested in and thinking about.. #EduSkyAu we talk a lot about #StudentVoice and #Agency but what about the context this happens within? What kind of school do they want to attend each day? What might change?

A4. Covid showed society that a school is not a building.. it is a community of people, networked together in different ways. Bringing our community into lessons, either in person or via dig tech, is so important and can support culturally responsive contexts for learning too #EduSkyAu
