Annual Conference 2018 – Seeds For Success

Welcome to the 2018 SASSAOA Annual Conference - Seeds For Success! A diverse range of workshops and plenary sessions are on offer with a sustainability and environmental focus.

Amanda Blair is our MC this year and the conference kicks off with networking and Meet and Greet the sponsors early Sunday evening. We are back at the Hilton Adelaide with the formal dinner at the beautiful Adelaide Town Hall. VIP Department for Education corporate staff will again attend the formal dinner, along with the Principals Association representatives and sponsors.

Workshop options on day one include: Jan Webber - 3 aspects of well-being which lead to positiveness; physical, mental and spiritual well-being, including the power of the mind. We also have workshops about application writing, successful grant writing, managing testing parents and visitors, infrastructure, ‘dressing to impress’, archiving and environmental programs.

Day two brings plenary sessions that will include the latest information about EMS, ICT, Ethical procurement and Department for Education environmental issues and agency partners. The AGM will also be held, and the Management Committee have some very exciting news to launch. Amanda Blair will wrap up the conference with a Keynote.

Feedback in recent times has included catering for ancillary staff who do not have a management role in Finance or HR. To address this professional development gap, we are running alongside our conference, a day long plenary on Monday. The program for the additional seminar will include Medication and Heath Care Management, EMS information, and Application Writing. Amanda Blair will MC and present a Keynote.

We are looking forward to this changed Conference format that is aimed at meeting a wider range of professional development needs and encouraging wider networking.

However, without sponsors, our conference would be impossible to run at a cost effective price. We sincerely appreciate and thank our sponsors.

Please enjoy your time spent at our annual conference as an opportunity to network, learn, affirm your knowledge and share best practice with colleagues.
