Member for Lismore, Janelle Saffin is inviting local teachers and academics with a passion for our democracy, to apply to for the NSW Parliament’s first Education Advisory Group.

“The Education Advisory Group will provide feedback and guidance to the Parliament of NSW on its civics and citizenship education programs and resources.

“This is an opportunity for local teachers and academics to shape the civics education programs delivered by the Parliament and make sure they are of the highest standards and relevant to today’s classrooms.

“The selected members will have the opportunity to contribute their insights to make sure the Parliament’s civics programs are of the highest quality and relevant to today’s classrooms.

“Parliament’s Education and Engagement team is particularly encouraging applications from:

• Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander educators
• Educators from regional, rural and remote areas
• Primary school teachers

Those with experience teaching students with a language background other than English

“The advisory group will convene once a term, with meetings held virtually during school term and in person at NSW Parliament House during school holidays.

“Being an Advisory Group member is not a paid role, however sitting fees are offered for each meeting attended and travel allowances will be available for regional members attending in-person meetings.”

Applications close at 11:59 PM Sunday 27 October 2024.
