Partner

University of Melbourne

Developed in partnership with South Australian educators and the University of Melbourne, this program responds to emerging local and global changes in education and explores cutting edge research about the future of learning for children and young people.

Through the Leading Future Learning program I have developed a deeper understanding of myself as a leader. The program allowed me to build confidence in thinking outside the box when it comes to education and encouraging others to do the same through my leadership.

Johanna Kemplay-Hill, Assistant Principal, Millicent High School
