Lead Teachers of South Australia (LTASA) had previously been running for several years but had been dormant since the start of the Covid pandemic. As part of the 2022 HALT Summit in Adelaide, HALTs ran a session which was the start of HALTs taking on a more active role to support colleagues in their state.
Highly Accomplished teacher Rebecca Hepworth had previously set up a Facebook page for SA HALTs. In 2022 Lead teacher Angela Phillips took over the Facebook page prior to the HALT Summit and in collaboration with Lead Teacher Elizabeth Gary-Smith surveyed HALTs to discover their needs.
