3 Keynotes Speakers included:

In addition to our keynote speakers, we had many educators and community members who also generously shared their time and expertise by presenting sessions in many different areas such as technology, inclusive education, human rights, physical education, inclusive food environments, and teaching climate change with hope.

What a fantastic day of learning and collaboration. A huge thanks to Elphinstone Secondary Staff who were very supportive and willing to share their space with us for the day.
