Inspirational Speakers – the knowledge gained will be so beneficial in my classrooms
Emily Anderson – Saint Ignatius College
Classroom Dynamics – the latest strategies and solutions to positive classroom management – Glen Pearsall
I really enjoyed the small group size. The sessions were interactive and we not only saw Glenn demonstrate how he would use strategies himself but we heard from other educators on their challenges and thoughts and also saw video examples from other schools. I find this multi modal style of presentation much more engaging. It was also appreciated to have a copy of the book to take back to school and access to the online platform.

“Strategies to Thrive as a Year Level Co-ordinator by Sally Learey”
Sally was insightful and helped me to make clear connections to every day behaviours / emotions that I will need to recognise in my position. It really reiterated why I applied for this position in the first place as I think that often the purpose or the why is forgotten in an attempt to do everything for everyone.
Tina Hobbs – Administration Workshops
I have come away from this session feeling very inspired and so much more positive. I now have many new ideas/techniques/strategies regarding how I can better manage a workload that often feels overwhelming. Some of these can be implemented immediately while others are more long-term plans. Thank you for making this workshop so practical. I just wish that all school admin staff had the opportunity to undertake this course.
Ebony Hoiberg – Ashwood High School
