Conference News - Conference SC Chair, Kylie Donovan:

Conference is just around the corner, and we are so excited! The team has been working tremendously hard, and this conference promises to be another amazing professional learning opportunity for principals.

I’d like to take this opportunity to acknowledge my team for their dedication and thank them for the work they have done leading up to conference, and for the work they are still to do next week. You are greatly appreciated.

• This year will be the last one we have the expo, so take the opportunity to bring your SAM or business manager next Tuesday to see our sponsors and get some great deals for your school and community.
• The new and relieving principals’ lunch is an initiative by the Leadership Standing Committee. It is a great time to meet other new principals and the PPA executive. The event will be held on Thursday 30^th October for the principals attending conference. You will receive a voucher when you register.
• There are a few additional rooms at Sofitel available under the $388 cap that were part of our group booking. If you are interested, contact Sofitel Wentworth group reservations, who will assist. Please use the code - #2510PPAPOA
• Conference app: download the Cvent Events app. This will be live from Monday and will have just about everything you need including the program, times, the speakers and their bios as well as details of events.
• Vicki Harris and Daryl McKay will send an email to everyone who is registered which has a whole bunch of FAQs. If there are any other questions you have, reach out to PPA exec, the conference team, or other principals who have been to conference before and we will assist you.
• Most importantly: you need to bring cash for the Stewart House raffle and the light up flashy things that we always have available to purchase at the dinner. All proceeds go to our charity of choice, Stewart House.

See you all next week!
