PPA Forum
The Forum is a secure bulletin board where principals can post questions or discuss issues with other principals across NSW. To ensure security you will have to log in each time you visit the Forum. On your first visit you will need to register. All registrations are moderated so only verified principals will be admitted.
The forum retains all discussion threads so you can visit at any time to catch up with the latest comments. You can search by keywords for particular topics and you can elect to be notified by email if a new comment is added to a discussion thread you are interested in.

SHAREiT
SHAREiT is an online document sharing website where principals can find useful and timesaving resources and contribute resources for the benefit of other principals.
SHAREiT has been designed to be self-managing so any document you contribute can also be removed by you if you change your mind.

PPA Web Directory
Have you ever wasted valuable time trying to find information you need on the WWW? On the PPA Web Directory there is an alphabetised list of links to hard to find information on the DET website, BOS website or any other website. You can search by keyword and find all links that match what you are looking for.
All links are contributed by NSW principals so when you finally find that elusive nugget you were looking for - make sure you add it to the PPA Web Directory!

Sponsorship
These online resources are provided free to NSW schools by financial support from the NSW PPA and through sponsorship by Business Partners. Discrete sponsorship advertisements will be displayed on the websites with the aims of:
promoting worthwhile products and services from our Business Partners
providing 'specials' that represent real value for schools
providing a Business Partner directory where schools can easily find contact details

All sponsor advertisements are 'clickable' and will take you to the sponsors website for more information on their products and services. The number of 'clicks' an advertisement receives are reported to the Business Partner as this is their measure of the success of their advertising. Principals are encouraged to visit our Business Partner websites to show your appreciation of their sponsorship and to see what they have to offer.

All Business Partners are approved by the NSW PPA.
Prospective Business Partners should contact Michael Tunks at ImproMation by email for an information package.
