Over the past two years at The Daily Advertiser in Wagga Wagga NSW, I have covered a variety of rounds.

Since August 2019, my principal round has been education. Covering all the news that’s fit to print at schools, TAFEs and universities in Wagga has meant for a lot of ups and downs.

I’m the one who gets to celebrate the achievements of our regional young people as they graduate and go on to kick goals personally and professionally.

• HSC 2019: Top achieving students react to ATAR release

I am also tasked with uncovering the injustices and struggles that unfortunately do occur in our institutions.

• Investigation into the sudden disappearance of Kildare Catholic College principal Rod Whelan
• Wagga’s Charles Sturt University staff and community prepare for gutting amid revenue downfall

Here is a snapshot of other more notable pieces I have covered for The Daily Advertiser:

• Wisdom of the Wiradjuri welcomed in farming first
• Department’s refusal to pay overtime costs students vital learning
• Teachers admit losing the joy of jobs as admin creeps into the classroom
• Public schools at extreme disadvantage as equity gap widens
• Back-to-basics schooling rhetoric questioned by under-resourced teachers
• Alumni call for university to return to regional focus after falling in global rankings
• PNG’s first female veterinarian readies to return home after study in Wagga
