From the Principal…
1 Newsletter No. 19 - Term 2 – Week 9 Thursday 19th June 2014 From the Principal…. ASIA EDUCATION FOUNDATION CONFERENCE This week I was fortunate enough to attend this second conference from the Asia Education Foundation. Last year the conference was in Melbourne and this year it was sited in Sydney. Delegates from all over Australia, and from all sectors of Education, attended the conference. The conference was over three days and we heard a range of speakers and attended workshop sessions. We began on Monday morning at the opening session with Scott Ryan, MP, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Education. This was followed by a terrific panel discussion with panellists, Hayley Bolding, Lead, Young People Without Borders, Professor Okhwa Lee, Chungbuk National University Republic of Korea, Natsuko Ogawa, Partner, Ashurst Australia and Dr Gene Sherman AM, Director, Sherman Contemporary Art Foundation. The topic was “The Growth of Asia” but also Australia’s place in this growth and the importance of education in making the right connections with Asia. After this session I chose a workshop group, which was “New World: Preparing teachers for a global classroom” run by Dr Libby Tudball, Monash University. After lunch on Monday I went to “Spotlight on Schools: Learning from, with and about Asia – Across the Curriculum” and then one called “New thinking: Leading Asia literate schools. Late in the afternoon we were all back together and we had an inspiring talk from Pallavi Sharda, Australia’s Bollywood Actress; and what an interesting person she is! Born to two PhD parents, Pallavi was academically gifted and completed high school in five years.
