From the Chapter President

I hope this finds you well and feeling restored after the long weekend. It is a busy time of year across our schools and institutions and, as we settle into the rhythm of winter, I hope you are finding moments to recharge.

Our calendar of Chapter events is well underway and it has been wonderful to hear such positive feedback from The Changing Landscape of Admissions session held last month at Open Book Howden. Thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to the conversation – your openness in sharing ideas and experiences is one of the great things about our community.

Looking ahead, our mid-year professional development session will be held on Wednesday 17 July, focussing on the important topic of Communicating with Confidence. Whatever your role, this practical and interactive session will offer valuable tools to strengthen your communication and presentation skills. We look forward to sharing more details with you very soon.

And of course, our flagship event, the Make Tomorrow SA/NT Chapter Summit, will be held at the Victor Harbor Convention Centre on Thursday 11 and Friday 12 September. Whether you are new to the sector or a seasoned professional, the Summit offers a valuable opportunity to hear from leading practitioners, connect with colleagues, share insights, and gain fresh perspectives tailored to our local context. It is always a highlight of the calendar and we would love to see as many of you there as possible.

With close to 50 registrations already received (and still 3 months to go!) it’s shaping up to be an outstanding event. Hurry though – Early Bird registration closes on Friday 27 June, so now is the perfect time to secure your place.

A limited number of bursaries are available to support attendance – please click above or contact me directly for more information. Please also remember to book your accommodation using the delegate booking form to access the special conference rates.

As always, I welcome your feedback and suggestions – whether it is a topic you would like us to explore or ways we can improve. Please feel free to get in touch with me at hkarapandzic@pac.edu.au.

Thank you for all that you do in your roles and for your ongoing commitment to strengthening our professional community. I look forward to seeing many of you at an upcoming event.
