Invitation
We invite you to join us at the 2009 APPA National Conference from Wednesday 16th September – Friday 18th September 2009 to be held the Gold Coast Convention & Exhibition Centre.
Our conference theme is “Waves of Hope and Oceans of
Possibilities – Surfing Sustainable Primary Education”.
At this premier conference, we will explore an
understanding of the child as a learner in Australia
today with particular interest in the development of the
creativity of childhood through the primary years,
attitudes and behaviour of the Australian community,
developing communities within schools and sustaining
principals and deputy principals as leaders.
This is a unique opportunity for school leaders from all
sectors of education (Government, Catholic and
Independent) to celebrate and to learn from each other
on the challenges that we face in today’s educational
“Oceans of Possibilities”.
Together, we will make a difference. See you on the Gold
Coast in 2009!
