Dear QLD Members,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

People & Culture Stream Thriving<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Many thanks to Ben Foley Director, Legal and Assurance at St Peters Lutheran College Indooroopilly who has been leading the charge in the 2024 introduction of the People & Culture Stream for our members. The momentum is growing rapidly with numerous new People & Culture members from schools and universities across the country joining our organisation. Ben\u2019s input has been invaluable to the Perth Conference program, and the hosting of webinars and face to face sessions for our newest members. We encourage you to invite People & Culture professionals from your institution to experience one of the upcoming events. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Regional Visits<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In early June, our regional members in Rockhampton and Townsville enjoyed professional development sessions tailored for their regional context. Both sessions were well attended by regional members and school teams and in true Educate Plus style, the generous sharing of ideas and information flowed freely. Thank you to the Digistorm<\/a><\/strong> team for making the trip to Townsville, and to Giving Architects<\/a><\/strong> who both took the time engage with our members.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Career Development Programs on the Horizon<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
