REFLECTION -

The Adelaide Decleration was possibly the most historicaly signifigant agreement in Australian Education. The Australian Government gave full recognition to the undeniable importance of the education of Australian children. They are the foundation block's of the future of this nation, without the proper education that all children have the right too, we are breaking that foundation.
The education we provide to our children, cannot just simply be an education. It has to be an education of quality. Where we give the best we possibly can to the future of our country, so that they have the opportunities to be anything they can dream of.
