Friday 11 October | Nazareth College

SASTA is committed to providing opportunities for Early Career Teachers to network and learn with and from each other.  In addition, we seek to provide you with access to expert education practitioners and leaders to ensure you have every opportunity to understand and succeed in this important profession.

This one-day conference provides graduates and teachers in the first few years of their career with an opportunity to share and reflect on their professional identity, professional practice, wellbeing, and to develop connections with other early career educators.

The Conference will include specialised workshops for both Primary and Secondary Teachers.

Share-a-thon

We will be running the popular share-a-thon again this year! An informal setting for multiple presenters to share an innovative teaching idea. Each presenter will share a strategy or tool during a 10-minute presentation.

This is a great first session for new conference presenters or as a way for seasoned presenters to share a go-to strategy or tool.
