A Collaborative Evening for Primary Leadership

The APPA National Conference is the only event in Australia that brings together primary school leaders from all three education sectors: Government, Catholic, and Independent. To celebrate this unique partnership, we invite you to join your respective sector’s networking function.

These functions are designed to foster collegiality and provide a dedicated space for leaders to connect with peers from across the country. Each event offers a platform to share sector-specific insights, discuss national trends, and strengthen the professional bonds that drive the primary education sector forward.

Participating Sector Associations:

  • Government: Connecting leaders from state-operated primary schools nationwide.

  • Catholic: Bringing together leaders from the Catholic primary education system.

  • Independent: Engaging with leaders from the independent school sector.

How to Attend

  • Registration: Delegates are encouraged to select their sector-specific function during the registration process.

  • Details: Specific venues and timings for each sector event will be provided in the final conference program.

  • Objective: These sessions focus on informal networking, advocacy, and collaborative leadership within your professional community.
