The Wombeyan Caves Conference
will be celebrating its 15th year in 2009, and is
organised by a
committee of Teaching Principals who focus their program
design on input that they know will be useful to "Principals
with Class."
A feature of the conference is clearly
the location, with its isolation from mobile phone coverage
and the chance to focus on discussion about the core
business of being a teaching Principal. There's a lot
of opportunity for formal and informal sharing of ideas
which work.
Accommodation is in cabins and a lot of
goodwill and co-operation sees everybody pitching in to do
their bit when it comes to cooking and cleaning up.
This conference has a unique sense of 'community' and
Teaching Principals will gain great value from it.
This conference is for all
Teaching Principals and 2 IC’s (second in charge). It is a
fantastic opportunity to share ideas and relax in the
wonderful surroundings of Wombeyan Caves. Mark it on your
calendar NOW!
Spaces are limited.
