Our world is rapidly changing. What does this mean for Australian children and their future?

Whether you are a parent, educator or practitioner we invite you to join us in celebrating the release of Adrian Piccoli's new publication 12 Ways Your Child Can Get The Best out of School and join us for a panel discussion with some of Australia's most experienced educators, Professor Adrian Piccoli, Professor Kristy Muir and Danielle Cronin. Chaired by Professor Pasi Sahlberg.
