Educating for Flourishing: Teachers, Leaders and Changemakers Shaping Tomorrow 

Join fellow alumni for a Professional Development and Networking event: Educating for Flourishing: Teachers, Leaders and Changemakers Shaping Tomorrow.
 
What does it mean to flourish in education, and how can today’s teachers, leaders and changemakers help shape a future in which every young person has the opportunity to thrive?

We warmly invite you to join us for Educating for Flourishing: Teachers, Leaders and Changemakers Shaping Tomorrow, bringing together educators, leaders, students, alumni and members of our wider community for an evening of thought-provoking conversation, connection and inspiration.

Education has the power to transform lives and communities. As the needs of students, schools and society continue to evolve, this event will explore the capabilities, leadership and new ways of thinking that will help educators create meaningful impact now and into the future.
