CS Leaders Workshops 

Early Years and Primary: Teaching and Learning and CS Leaders
Date claimer: 23rd and 24th May, venue to be confirmed.
Due to the success of last year’s two-day workshop with Teaching and Learning and CS Leaders, we have been encouraged to offer a similar model this year. More details to follow, but the 2 days will include Free to flourish, stories from learning communities and a focus on assessment.    

Secondary CS Leaders 
As the SACE Spiritualities, Religion and Meaning project concluded at the end of 2023, a small planning committee has been formed. They will meet in the first half of Term 1 to determine the focus and direction for 2024 and then information will be emailed to all Secondary CS Leaders later this term. 

2024 Learning Community Support  

In follow up to Renee’s introductory email to all Early Years and Primary CS Leaders, both Andrew and Renee are aiming to establish connections with Teaching and Learning Leaders and Christian Studies Leaders. To support schools with their important work of leading Christian Studies, as well as discuss their learning community’s story, initiatives and priorities. This will enable Andrew and Renee to explore potential areas of collaboration and identify ways in which they can offer support. If you would like to initiate this connection, please do not hesitate to email Andrew and Renee.
