Glenwood State School
James Nash from February 23-26 review date
In the South Burnett Murgon and Nanango State School will also be reviewed, and south of the region, Maleny and Cooroy as well.
About a quarter of all Queensland public schools will be visited by reviewers – many of whom are former and current school principals – of the Department of Education’s Education Improvement Branch in 2021.
Along with an intensive analysis of the school’s performance data including NAPLAN results, attendance rates and A-E grading, reviewers will also solicit feedback from students, staff, parents and members of the school community.
School culture, teaching approaches, use of resources, community partnerships and professional development will also be intensely reviewed.

Black History week began in 1926, five years after the Tulsa Massacre, by historian, scholar, and author Dr. Carter G. Woodson. Dr. Woodson chose a week during February to honor the Great Emancipator President Abraham Lincoln and Scholar and Orator Frederick Douglas s birthdays. Douglass escaped slavery and became a prominent activist, author, and public speaker. He was a leader in the abolitionist movement, which sought to end slavery practices of slavery. The purpose of Black History Week was to honor the significant contributions of African Americans in U.S. history. In 1976, during President Gerald Ford s administration, Black History Week expanded to a month-long celebration.

The program may well pick up again next year or the year after, but it looks unlikely that the free deal will return.
As we head into the weekend and the end of the kids’ first week back at school, let’s hope the promise of 2021 lives up to the expectations. Have a great weekend. I’m off to a 50th birthday party where the theme is “F”. Should be a hoot.

AUSTIN, Texas – States will receive full reimbursement from the federal government for using National Guard troops in efforts to combat the coronavirus pandemic, through an executive order signed by President Joe Biden. The policy change is just one of several ways that the Biden administration began to pivot from former President Donald Trump’s approach to the pandemic. Since August, states only received 75% reimbursement for using troops on federally approved missions to beat back the spread of coronavirus.
