Was a great event to be a part of. Found it inspirational and motivating.
An excellent opening and Karen Moore was very uplifting. Was a shame we could not hear Kent Hoffman very well as I think his work is amazing and would have really liked to have heard what he was teaching.
I love his theory of the child being the centre of their universe and think a lot can be learnt from this way of thinking.
I left feeling like I was part of a welcoming and embracing community.

It was a special feeling to be amongst so many people involved in the education of children. A good day to be invited to.

Robyn was the most captivating and relatable speaker of the day. We really resonated with the quote “live your life like it’s the first time...”. It was good to laugh and cry as it had meaning and relevance - we shouldn’t forget to laugh with the kids. If we have a bad day, we have to move forward.

The opening prayer and indigenous welcoming was a captivating performance and a great start to the day.

It was great to see other teachers and network with the catholic teaching community. Although some more time to do this would have been valuable.

The history about catholic education was a bit too lengthy. How did this really connect to the day’s vision?

Whilst it was projected as Live, Lead and Learn, the overall message might have been lost?

We were grateful for the lunch and snack options.

Could the day have been more interactive? We don’t expect children to sit down for long periods, so why were we?

The duration of the day was a bit lengthy.

Technological issues let the second speaker down

Robyn’s message of always finding joy in everything was a great message in preparation for the new year. Be optimistic and make everything seem like it is the first time, use your time to make a difference.  Was also great to see everyone in catholic education United together, the opening prayer was captivating and a great start to the day.

The essence of the day is that the whole child is at the centre of all that we do. Love is paramount in everything...OUR MOTTO.

Father Phillip, as always, spoke so beautifully and his message that we each have value and we all matter.was so reflective.

Robyn's message to teach something like it's the first time was powerful.

Kent Hoffman, next slide ...oh dear
His message we are the centre of the universe and we all matter.

Dr McGoran, we have a rich past and history and moving forward into the 21st C developing the key competencies to achieve this 'new level of excellence' for life long learning.

“This conference will be an historic event for all those who participate in the life and mission of the Church and our schools,” said CESA’s director Dr Neil McGoran.

“It is the first time we have organised something of this size and with such a broad agenda. We will explore a range of topics related to education and the opportunities and challenges we all face in today’s world.

“We want to explore the essence of a Catholic education and what we mean when we say that it integrates faith, life, learning and culture.”
