I think this is a really fantastic initiative which pre-service teachers would really appreciate and find useful. The teaching profession can be quite isolated and giving opportunity to teachers to be able to share and network with other teachers is a great idea while enhancing their professional experience.
I wonder whether there exists an online network/support for beginning teachers in NSW for them to share (and learn from each other) their school experiences. I am a doctoral student researching on career change beginning teachers. Teachers in my study have mentioned how much they value networking opportunities with other career change teachers in other schools. Being able to connect online and converse with other like-minded teachers can go a long way to enhancing collegiality as well as providing the much needed support during the early years of teaching.
