Sylvia Martinez will keynote the New Zealand Principals’ Federation Annual Conference 2018 in Wellington, NZ October 24.
Set against the backdrop of Wellington Harbour in our nation’s capital, the conference title – Creative Leaders, Flourishing Futures – signals a desire to encourage and celebrate creative and courageous leadership in our schools, which allows children to flourish.
Similarly, the conference whakatauki – Ko te ahurei, o te tamaiti, arahia o tatou mahi (Let the uniqueness of the child guide our work) – sums up the desire to focus on the holistic nature of education and achieving success for every child, in his or her own way; listening to their voice and finding ways to be culturally and contextually responsive to them.
