Presentations

Join us for an inspiring and energising opening keynote with world-renowned speaker and well-being expert Dale Sidebottom as he unveils the power of play in education.

This presentation examines technology-driven innovation in the Physical Education curriculum.

The session provides an overview of David’s recent publications that investigated the assessment practices of Victorian secondary school PE teachers in the context of invasion games and sports at Year Levels 7-10.

This interactive session will introduce a practical template and process for unpacking and developing skills across curriculum standards through sociocultural & critical approaches.

Participants will leave with practical ideas for helping athletes, students, and colleagues move from role awareness to genuine ownership.

This session aims to provide teachers (both classroom and specialist) with fun & engaging ideas, games and strategies that you can implement into your classroom in order to build positive connections from Day 1.

In this session, we will break down the importance of social-emotional learning and the positive impact programs like advisory can have on the holistic health of our students.

Good PE teachers don't always make good Athletic Directors. It takes much more than just a knowledge of curriculum and sport to run a successful athletic program. Are you in your first year of being an AD? Juggling a dual role in PE and coordinating sports teams? Have aspirations to some day become an AD? Join me for some tips to get ahead of the game before you're in too deep and sinking. If you're an experienced AD, this probably isn't for you, but you're welcome to come along and share as well!

Are you ready to move your body, connect with others, and have some fun? Join us for a practical session focused on "Finding Your Rhythm: Movement as Medicine for Mind and Body"

My presentation will share relevant research on the science of practice vs. play, cultural views on sports specialization, and potential competing views of parents and club coaches on skill learning.
