WHAT TEACHERS SAID LAST YEAR

Thewayinwhichthecontentwasdelivered...“I was amazed with the enthusiasm of the presenters and the way in which the content was delivered to maximise

student engagement and involvement. Each session was paced so as to enable the students to learn about being a leader within the structure of a school setting, targeting the content for their age group specifically. Most

importantly, our students came away with a successful strategy to implement change.” ChristelPargeter,Teacher,AlburyPublicSchoolNSW

Interactwithstudentsfromotherschools...“The year 6 leaders that attended the conference left buzzing and motivated ready

to implement changes at our school. It was great that they were able to interact with students from other schools too. We will definitely be back next year!”

ReneeLadner,Teacher,StAnthony’sPrimarySchoolVIC

Burstingwithideas...“My 22 year six students very much enjoyed the GRIP Leadership

conference and have come back to school full of enthusiasm and great ideas. We have reviewed the booklet today and they

were again bursting with ideas for leadership in the school.” KerryGillies,Teacher,CavershamPrimarySchoolWA
