Grant to help attend conference

The 2017 SLANZA Conference, Fiery Futures, is being held in Auckland in the second week of the July school holidays, 16-19 July. Being so close, this is a wonderful opportunity for Te Tai Tokerau members to attend.

SLANZA Te Tai Tokerau would like to offer Conference grants to members keen on attending. This will not be a full registration grant, rather a contribution towards costs. Money awarded will depend on the number of applicants we receive.

Registration fee (earlybird) is $495.00. If you don’t have family or friends in Auckland there is onsite accommodation available which costs between $220-$280 depending whether you stay two or three nights (so attendance from Sunday afternoon or Monday morning). There is an optional bus tour for secondary or primary schools on Wednesday afternoon which is an additional $30.00.

Do check out the Conference website. There is also a conference letter template to encourage your employer to allow you to attend.

This offer is only open to current SLANZA members and the grant money must be used for the conference. Priority will be given to members who haven’t received SLANZA grants before. Recipients will be expected to share their conference experience with other members via a Collected magazine article and a short talk at one of our PD sessions.

Applications close April 30, 2017. The lucky delegates will be announced following a committee meeting Saturday, 6 May. Please submit your email application to the SLANZA Te Tai Tokerau Chairperson, Julia Smith
