On behalf of the organising committee and the TPA Executive, I am delighted to welcome you to the 2024 Tasmanian Educational Leaders Conference.
Our conference theme this year is Capturing Hearts & Minds, Shaping Futures and we feel this will call to what is at the core of every leader and educator; that is – the opportunity to engage in provocations, deep learning and conversations leading to something truly special and transformational for the young people in our care. The presenters, structure of the keynote presentations and workshops are being carefully considered to align to the theme of the conference with a focus on ‘extending your learning’, deliberately incorporated into the program so leaders come away with a shift in thinking and professional practice to Shape Futures.
Devonport provides the perfect destination on the bank of the Mersey River and the paranaple Centre will be our base for what we are confident is a program of memorable learning and networking opportunities across the three days. From bush walks to bike tracks, galleries to gin distilleries, we hope you will also take the time to enjoy the beauty, culture and history of the surrounding area and all it can offer off the back of your time on the North West Coast.
There is no better time to continue to grow as courageous and connected leaders by prioritising your own learning and wellbeing – we look forward to seeing you making this investment in your professional learning by registering for the 2024 Tasmanian Educational Leaders Conference.
