We are delighted to announce that we will be back with face to face professional learing events in 2021 - usual format but wtih some important changes: the March Seminar will be a full day event; the AATE-ALEA National Conference will be held in Brisbane in July and consequently there will not be a state conference. Other events for the year include May Masterclass on 15 May (tbc), teacher and student events in preparation for external assessment (but at different dates), 2 grammar workshops, Early Career Conference, and Community of Practice for Essential English.
Our first seminar on Saturday 13 March, a full day one, will launch our Challenge and Change series. 2021 will allow us to relect on our successes as we manage the challenges inherent in the recent changes to our curriculum.
