On your marks, get set…
Welcome to 2026 and the beginning of a brand new school year. As educators, we have such a unique job where the new school year brings fresh students and opportunities. I hope you are feeling rested and refreshed after your holiday break and ready to tackle 2026 challenges head-on.
What 2026 brings for Growing Up Greatness
We have already kicked off the year with two PART courses for Shape Disability and have many more PL courses for teachers locked in. This year we are revamping our social media strategy with refreshed branding and branching out to new platforms, so stay tuned! We are travelling to Hong Kong to work with The Hong Kong Academy for Gifted Education (and another secret-squirrel project - more to come later!), Geraldton in April for a Maths Differentiation course, and working with Busselton schools at the end of May. We have school visits booked in all the way until Term 4, and if you are not booked in, it isn’t too late! Hope to see you at your school or at one of our PL events.
