LIANZA Hikuwai Weekend School - professional development opportunity in Whangarei

I wanted to promote the LIANZA Hikuwai Weekend School, 28-29 May in Whangarei. 

Lisa Salter has been heavily involved in planning and assured me they have worked hard to keep the price affordable. If you check the programme you will see a children’s and young people strand – perfect for us.

This will be a great professional development opportunity right in our back-yard. Earlybird registrations close end of April!

We  are  now open for submissions to Collected  18

The theme for this issue is  "What SLANZA Means to You". 

We will have articles on the various services and advantages SLANZA has for members. But we would also like to hear from you about your  experiences with SLANZA and our profession.

We also need articles on other matters that may be of interest to your fellow  SLANZA members. This could include book reviews, articles about awesome PD you’ve attended or provided or anything you may think will be appropriate

Our deadline is May  15. Details about submissions, images and the magazine in general can be found at slanza.org.nz under the Resources tab under Collected.
