As a teacher, I have always been committed to giving local kids a world class education.

Now, working with Premier Chris Minns we’re building more classrooms, hiring more teachers and lifting student outcomes across the Central Coast to give our kids the world class education they deserve, right where they live.

BETTER SCHOOLS ACROSS THE CENTRAL COAST

We’re building a new public preschool in Umina Beach to give local children the best start. We’re also upgrading Narara Valley High School.

MORE TEACHERS FOR OUR CHILDREN

Because of the former Liberal Government’s unfair wages cap and neglect of public education, teacher vacancies reached an all time high, resulting in 10,000 merged and cancelled classes across NSW every day.

When the Minns Labor Government was elected one of our priorities was to rebuild our education system. Just in the three years we’ve:

• Delivered the largest pay rise in a generation to all of NSW’s public school teachers;
• Provided permanent jobs to 298 teachers and support staff locally; and
• Nearly halved the number of merged and cancelled classes by getting more teachers into the classroom, meaning our kids are spending more time learning in class and receiving more one-on-one attention from their teachers.

Rebuilding our education system takes time but we are committed to getting the job done.
