TRIC in Geraldton

Back from my jaunt to the West and the TAFE in Regional and Isolated Communities Conference. A great bunch of people, the bbq at the Bowls Club was the highlight, like a very polite B&S Ball. Very disappointing presentation by head of WA dept of Education, Geoff Bowley. A senior leader of education with lots of info on Private technical Colleges, new AWA issues in relation to pay and conditions for TAFE teachers and he kept referring questions ot the DEST website - as if he was afraid of not including us in his confidence.
