This is a great way to end of the year. As we wrap up another busy year of teaching, it’s easy to feel like the only priority is to cross the finish line. But taking some time to do a proper inventory of your Coding and Robotics resources can make a world of difference when the new year begins. Think about it—are your robots in good shape? Do you have enough coding kits, batteries, or parts to hit the ground running next year? Are there licenses or tools that need updating? A year-end inventory isn’t just about staying organised; it’s about setting yourself and your learners up for success. It helps you: Avoid scrambling for missing resources in January. Spot what needs fixing, replacing, or upgrading. Plan lessons with confidence, knowing you’ve got everything you need. By getting everything in order now, you’ll thank yourself later when the new term begins, and you’re ready to dive straight into teaching. Have you done your inventory yet like Kerry-Ann van der Merwe ? What’s your go-to strategy for staying on top of everything? Share tips to make 2025 our most organised year yet! #CodingAndRobotics #TeachingTips #PlanAhead #EdTech #organise Resolute Education #success

New Year, New Goals, New Accountability 🎯💪 The other day, I was listening to BBC Radio One, and they were discussing whether we should replace the word "resolution" with "intention" for the New Year. Their reasoning? The word "resolution" supposedly carries negative connotations, especially if you don’t achieve what you’ve set out to do. Using "intention" was seen as a way to avoid feelings of shame or failure. Honestly, I didn’t agree at all. While I understand the importance of self-compassion, I think there’s value in accountability. If we don’t achieve something within our control, shouldn’t we reflect, take responsibility, and use it as a lesson to grow? 🤔📈 Life will always throw curveballs 🌪️, and sometimes external factors make our goals unattainable, which is understandable. But when the outcome is in our hands, it’s important to own our failures and learn from them, rather than rebranding them to avoid discomfort. Growth doesn’t come from blame-shifting; it comes from resilience and taking action. 🚀✨ So, here’s to 2025 resolutions. Not intentions. Resolutions that push us to be better, take responsibility, and learn along the way. Let’s make it a year of accountability and progress! 🎉💼

This scripture is right on time.

A Message Worth Remembering Throughout 2025 Mental health challenges have many causes, and one that causes significant damage to otherwise healthy people, is bullying and mobbing. These harmful behaviours can take place within families, communities, and workplaces. While some instigators are fully aware of the cruelty they are inflicting, others may lack self-awareness. Education is critical to raising awareness about the serious and often devastating impacts of these behaviours on people’s lives. Bullying, harrassment and mobbing are not trivial issues; they are harmful, morally wrong, and can lead to lasting psychological and financial damage. In 2025, let’s collectively raise our voices against bullying and mobbing. Let this be a year of heightened awareness, increased accountability, and meaningful action. It is essential for those in positions of authority to honour their responsibilities, set boundaries, and act with integrity—even when it means challenging friends or those in power. Nobody should be above the law, and Australia has robust legal frameworks to address these issues. What we need is consistent enforcement. The No More Mobbing Campaign is committed to educating and advocating for change in 2025. We invite you to join us for two significant summits that have been scheduled for this year, focused on drawing attention to the immense suffering caused by psychosocial abuse and driving progress toward respectful, supportive environments: June: New Zealand Summit - Title to be announced (#DrDonnaStemmer) November: Australian Summit on Respect 2025 This is not a “soft” issue—it is the much harsher reality of life and death for many individuals. The time for complacency is over. We must speak out and take action to create a future where respect, accountability and integrity are the norm. Let’s work together to make 2025 a turning point. 🧡 Join us 🧡
