These are the main themes of the forthcoming National Conference being hosted jointly by the Bureau’s governing group, the two peak parent bodies for government and non-government schools (Australian Council of State School Organisations and the Australian Parents Council)

For full details of the conference (12-13 October 2009) go to www.acsso.org.au/natconf09/
Goal #2 of the Melbourne Declaration on Educational Goals for Young Australians is that:

All young Australians become:
Successful learners – Confident and creative individuals– Active and informed citizens

On that account, student wellbeing is clearly at the heart of education.
