Lyndal Howison is a high school teacher in Western Sydney and former councillor. Her family have been raising their daughter and serving on P&Cs and church committees in Ryde for 10 years.
Lyndal knows Ryde is a wonderful place to live and to raise a family, it is diverse and hard-working, but it is under pressure. Ryde needs representation by someone who doesn't take voters for granted, and wants to tackle the pressures on local schools and transport.
Lyndal has a Bachelor of Business (UTS) and a Masters of Teaching (secondary, Western Sydney University). She has a range of experience including communications management in charities and the finance sector.
More recently, having retrained as a high school teacher, Lyndal has first-hand experience of the challenges facing high schools in Sydney. If elected, Lyndal will work in a Minns government to address the teaching shortage and maintenance lag which is having an adverse effect on schools and learning in NSW.
The Perrottet government’s approach to frontline workers is combative and out of touch. Lyndal joins her colleagues in the NSW Teachers Federation in calling for solutions, because without great teachers, our kids don’t get a great education.
