TOGETHER Leading Learning

Tēnā koutou katoa

On behalf of the New Zealand Principals Federation and the Australian Primary Principals’ Association, the Conference Committee would like to thank everyone who attended the 2024 Trans-Tasman conference in Ōtautahi Christchurch, New Zealand. 

This very special collaboration between our two countries once again delivered a stimulating conference programme and an invigorating social programme that allowed New Zealand to showcase the highlights of this rejuvenated southern city. Christchurch in spring provided a stunning backdrop for conference events and Te Pae Convention Centre provided a world-class event venue for us to call home for the duration of the conference. 

Our speakers offered challenging, thought provoking and stimulating presentations. Some were visiting New Zealand for the first time, and many enjoyed the relaxed interaction with delegates outside of the more formal sessions. Thank you to the Christchurch schools who opened their doors to our delegates and to Te Wharekura o Te Whānau Tahi and St Thomas of Canterbury College whose students entertained us on two of the conference mornings. To the delegates, we hope you have returned to your schools challenged, excited, and inspired with a fresh mindset as a result of this experience. 

On behalf of the Trans-Tasman Conference Committee, best wishes for a successful end to 2024 and a restful Christmas and summer holiday break. 

No reira, tena koutou katoa,

Jill Corkin MNZM
NZPF Conference Convenor
