    2017 yenMANSW Annual Conference Adjusting Your Altitude PLATINUM SPONSORS MANSW thanks the following sponsors for their support of the 2017 MANSW Annual Conference GOLD SPONSOR SILVER SPONSORS OTHER SPONSORS Pre-Dinner Drinks President’s Reception Sponsor Presenter Gifts Welcome to the 2017 MANSW Annual Conference Adjusting Your Altitude 2017 MANSW Annual Conference Adjusting Your Altitude A very warm welcome to the 2017 MANSW Annual Conference: “Adjusting Your Altitude”. In deciding to bring the MANSW Annual Conference to the Blue Mountains this year, I wanted our theme to be related to the mountains in some way. In particular, the graphic that we have used this year stood out to me as a graphic that epitomises our work as teachers. To teach effectively, it is not enough to explain our knowledge, experiences, to talk students through the journey they will go on, all the potholes they may fall in, how to navigate, how to plan for bad weather, how to move up the mountain… you have to walk it with them, and help them on the way, adjusting as you go. We are excited to be able to welcome many educators to our conference this year, and there are many notable events to look forward to. On Friday morning we have two excellent speakers: Mark Harrison and Angela D’Angelo. Mark Harrison has a background in Mathematics and Psychology and will speak to us about Growth Mindset, in particular how understanding student mindsets can deeply influence our effectiveness in the classroom. Angela D’Angelo, one of the recipients of a Premier’s Teaching Scholarship in 2016, will continue the conversation around Growth Mindset as well as discuss her journey over the last year.

We congratulate all representatives in attendance as they are the finest male and female players from the three education sectors in NSW: Combined Catholic Colleges Combined High Schools Combined Independent Schools These schools’ sectors comprise around one million students in both Primary and Secondary schools, so to gain representation at our NSW All Schools level is indeed an honour and privilege. Whilst at the Open level we acknowledge the winners of the Championships, the aim of this Round-Robin series is to traditionally select our 2021 Open Boys and Girls State Teams and our 16 & Under Boys State Team. However, in 2021 due to COVID restrictions and limitations there will be no further progression following the All Schools Championships and Merit Teams will be announced (Open Boys & Girls only) to recognise the achievements of those outstanding players across the All Schools Championships. Due to the cancellation of the School Sport Australia Championships NSWCHS made a collective decision not to par- take in this years 16 & Under Tri-Series, however the Independent and Catholic Sectors decided to proceed and invited Westfields Sports High Schools to participate as an invitational team. Our Association has some very fine players and also we are fortunate to have dedicated and professional staff across all sectors who continue to support these talented athletes and the tradition of these final State trials.
