Graduate / Teachers new to Lutheran schools Day
One of the initiatives discussed by the EVP working group was to hold a day focussing on graduate teachers and those new to Lutheran schools to celebrate and explore further Lutheran schooling. This day will be held at the LEVNT office on Friday 9th May and is a day for these staff to come together to share and discuss their experiences so far and to deepen their knowledge about Lutheran schooling (through participation in Growing deep / Free to Flourish activities).
The agenda for the day is still being finalised but it promises to be a day of rich and deep learning and collegiality. Please register staff here.
Fierce Conversations
Being able to have the hard or instructive conversation is a capability that all leaders need to have. Suzanne Jesson will be facilitating ‘Fierce Conversations’ twice this year for the LEVNT region to support our leaders to build capacity in this area. Suzanne ran this workshop last year and many of the participants still talk of the rich learning and ‘takeaways’ they gained from attending this workshop. The first workshop for 2025 is being held at the LEVNT office on Wednesday 28th and Thursday 29th May. This workshop will be targeted towards ‘middle’ level leaders and those staff who may have a higher level of responsibility in the school. The second workshop to be held 30th and 31st July is targeted towards principals and senior leaders (Exec team etc.). This is being offered at no cost to schools.
Please register here for the workshop being held Wednesday 28th and Thursday 29th May.
The simplest definition of a Fierce Conversation is one in which we come out from behind ourselves, into the conversation, and make it real. While many fear “real”, it is the “unreal” conversations that ought to concern us because they are incredibly expensive. In this workshop you will learn how to have Fierce Conversations: productive dialogue that interrogates reality, provokes learning, resolves tough challenges, and enriches relationships.
Marketing workshop
A reminder that Bianca Coleborn will be facilitating a marketing workshop for all schools on Friday May 9th (venue will be Melbourne based). The flyer outlining this has been attached. This is for schools new to Bianca’s strategy and framework and for school’s who have previously engaged with Bianca in 2024. The cost is per school not per person and you are therefore able to register a number of staff. Please register using the link in the flyer.
If you have any questions about any of these opportunities please contact me.
