State School Teachers' Union of WA

The New Educator Network (NEN) is an opportunity for new educators to network in a variety of settings and has been around for over a decade.

The NEN was originally developed on the east coast of Australia and in WA it has be formed to suit our context to help early career teachers.

One of the best ways to keep in touch with each other as new educators is via the New Educator Network - WA Facebook group. The NEN Facebook group is for members of the State School Teachers' Union of WA who are education students or public school teachers in their first five years of teaching. Through the NEN Facebook group you can stay up to date with events that are happening for new educators as well as tune into free webinars plus receive a range of free advice on industrial and professional issues.

What are your plans for today? Do they involved filling in an EOI for two upcoming new educator events?

State Council Conference Guest Program
State Council meets twice each year, and it's the highest decision-making body of your union. As a guest, we'll pair you up with a mentor, and you'll have the opportunity to observe proceedings, get to know other new educator unionists and learn more about your union. The program runs 10-11 November 2023.

AEU National New Educators Conference
On 18-19 November 2023, an SSTUWA delegation will be travelling to Canberra to take part in the AEU National New Educators Conference. You'll get to meet new educators from across Australia, listen to some incredible guest speakers, and get involved in some fantastic workshops.
