Sharing Best Practice in Gippsland
Over 400 educators, allied health professionals and parents were welcomed when St Paul’s Anglican Grammar School opened its doors recently for the Sharing Best Practice Gippsland conference.
Focusing on the Science of Learning and High Impact Teaching, keynote speakers Professor Emeritus Stephen Dinham, Associate Professor Lorraine Hammond and Head of Practice Lyn Stone from Lifelong Literacy, inspired and informed delegates who travelled from all over Australia.
A group of committed and talented educators hosted 25 break-out sessions that created opportunities for insightful learning, stimulating discussions and networking. Head of St Paul’s Traralgon Junior School, Tracey King, was delighted with the response to the event. “The feedback from the conference has been overwhelmingly positive and it was a wonderful way to kick start our holidays,” she said.
Tracey also commended and thanked two St Paul’s representatives who hosted one of the break-out sessions. “Congratulations and thanks go to Rachael Geerts and Rick Battista who represented St Paul’s and delivered a workshop on explicit instruction which was one of the most popular and well-attended sessions of the day,” she said.
