17.01.2022 NATIONAL RECONCILIATION WEEK 2021: POSTER AND ARTWORK REVEALED In 2021 we are seeing more people speaking up, speaking the truth, asking the hard questions, se...eing the hard facts, and informing themselves about issues affecting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. More than a word. Reconciliation takes action asks people to take this awareness and knowledge, and use it as a springboard to more substantive, brave action. For reconciliation to be effective, it must involve truth-telling, and actively address issues of inequality, systemic racism and instances where the rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are ignored, denied or reduced. While we see greater support for reconciliation from the Australian people than ever before, we must be more determined than ever if we are to achieve the goals of the movement a just, equitable, reconciled Australia.

05.01.2022 In light of the unfolding COVID-19 situation and with consideration to the impact that this has on our attendees and overall conference experience, we have made the difficult decision to postpone the PDN School Leaders’ Conference, due to be held from October 28-30, 2020. This decision has not been made lightly, however under the current circumstances we do not see it as feasible to continue with the original event dates as planned. With many of our speakers due to travel fro...m Sydney or Melbourne, we are unable to guarantee the program line-up that so many have been looking forward to. Attendees would also not be able to stand, mingle or dance, and what is a PDN Conference without a dancefloor?! A booking has been made at the existing venue (QT Gold Coast) for new dates of August 18-20, 2021. We feel that this is a reasonable time-frame to allow for community recovery to deliver the best possible experience for all involved. We hope you will join us for a bigger, better, safer event on these new dates! Waitlist your attendance now to be first in when venue restrictions ease, or register to attend virtually at https://griffith.edu.au/pdn-school-leaders-conference
