Registrations now open for SLANZA 2015: From the Ground Up!

Registrations are now open!

Hello everyone,

Registration for SLANZA 2015 is now live on the From the Ground Up website.  You will be able to register at the early bird rate, book your accommodation if needed and indicate if you would like to take part in any (or all!) of the social programme events: author breakfasts and conference dinner.

We have added to the website a draft letter that you can use if you need to ‘make a case’ to your manager or Principal to attend conference.  Use the text in any way you like to create your own custom letter so you can attend this valuable professional development.  Remember, all the SLANZA regional committees are sponsoring one or two members to attend conference and if you need more information about this, contact your local SLANZA representative – details on this website under regions.

We have a great selection of workshops coming together and the list of these can be viewed via the conference website. There are three workshop streams:  Sowing Digital Seeds, Growing Readers, and Cultivating Leadership.  We still have one or two to confirm so watch for more being added over the next month.  Workshop selections will be available in July when you can ‘mix and match’ from the streams and a full abstract will be available before you need to make any decisions - for now we will leave you with just the mystery of the titles!

Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions about conference and we will continue to keep you up-to-date with conference news as we count down to spring in Christchurch!

Cathy Kennedy and your Aoraki Conference Committee
