President's Report

Dear TPA Members & Supporters,

Welcome to our New Members

A warm welcome to Heather Waugh, Jennifer Grubb, Kahlia Hodge, and Eloise Bound. We are delighted that you have made the decision to join an Association focused on supporting and building the capacity of our profession.

The end of term naturally creates an opportunity for thought and reflection. We hope that you hold a great sense of satisfaction and achievement in leading your teams or school community through the peak of winter, dynamics and busyness of term 3. The shift in to term 4 always brings a beautiful blend of energy and emotions; some students will find that ‘a-ha’ moment when a concept really clicks, some will be navigating the emotions of a transition to a new school or workforce, and for all students and staff, it will mark the final quarter of doing this year’s journey together as a team. For those that follow winter sport, we hope that everything falls in to place for your favourite team in their ‘final quarter’. I’m just preparing myself for 2028, with 200,000 other Tasmanian AFL Club members as we wait for the Devils to take to the park for the first time – shout out to Matt Conn, principal from King Island for his updated version of the guernsey!

2026 Tasmanian Educational Leaders Conference

Please mark your calendars and save the date to join us to connect, learn, and be inspired alongside educational leaders from across Tasmania.

More details, including program highlights and registration information, will follow soon.

We look forward to seeing you there.

Kind regards

ASCA Update

What a year! Looking ahead to Term 4. It’s been a busy and productive year for everyone, and with so much happening, we know many of you are looking forward to a well-deserved break before Term 4—the final term of 2025!

ASCA has also been hard at work, welcoming new suppliers into the ASCA family. This expansion is providing our 8,000+ members nationwide with even more great options for purchasing and tendering. If you're looking for something specific for your school, let us know—we’re always happy to help source more fantastic suppliers for you.

Is Your Canteen Registered for the ASCA Rewards Loyalty Program?

  • Principals, help your canteen save! Remind your Canteen Manager or Caterer about the ASCA Rewards Loyalty Program. Points earned are valid for two years and can be redeemed for credits with their Distributor or The Good Guys Commercial.

ASCA Supports Australian Charities

  • As a not-for-profit organisation, ASCA donates surplus funds each year to registered charities that support the education of vulnerable children.
  • By purchasing from ASCA’s Preferred Suppliers, your school not only receives great value but also contributes to our charity partners. Since our founding in 1979, ASCA has raised $11 million for organisations like The Smith Family.
