We have received strong interest from members to be part of the SASSLA Board. Six nominations for four positions were received which means we need to hold an election.
We use a third party election provider, Australian Election Company, to carry out our election process by mail. Voting material and instructions will be posted to members’ home addresses on Monday 2 February 2026 (ballot open date) and voting will close at 12.00noon on Friday 27 February 2026. Voting instructions will be included in the material posted to members.
Only members who were financial as of the close of roll on 3 October 2025 will receive the ballot material and have the right to vote. If you do not receive your voting material or have any questions, please contact Leanne at SASSLA on 0412 654 817 and she will connect you to the Returning Officer.
We thank the following SASSLA members for nominating. The ordering of names on the ballot paper was “drawn by lots” by the Australian Election Company and appear below in the same order. Each nominee has also written a candidate statement which will be included with the ballot paper and can also be viewed here.
- Matt Saunders, Principal Hewett Primary School.
- Sue Burtenshaw, Principal Peterborough High School.
- Craig Duguid, Principal Seaview High School.
- Connie Cowling, Preschool Director Le Fevre Kindergarten.
- Amanda Walsh, Principal Playford International College.
- Tyson Grinham, Principal Lockleys North Primary School.
We encourage members to vote. Your active engagement in this process helps to shape the future of SASSLA!
