CARE School Seminar

This year’s CARE School Seminar will be quite different to previous years conferences. This year we will be having an afternoon only seminar with no breakout sessions.

 

Our keynote presenter will be Tom Brunzell.

Dr Tom Brunzell (MST, EdM, PhD) has experience as a teacher, school leader, researcher and education advisor.  Currently he is the Director of Education at Berry Street and Honorary Fellow at the University of Melbourne Graduate School of Education.  Tom presents internationally on topics of transforming school culture, student engagement, trauma-aware practice, wellbeing and positive psychology, and effective school leadership.  His research at the University of Melbourne investigates both the negative impacts of secondary traumatic stress and the positive impacts of wellbeing on teachers and leaders working towards educational equity in their communities. His new book: Creating Trauma-informed Strengths Based Classrooms, co-authored with Dr Jacolyn Norrish, is available in Australia in August 2021 with Jessica Kingsley Publishers.

 

Tom will present two sessions with an afternoon tea break in between.

 

The seminar will be held at Optus Stadium. There is plenty of free parking available at the stadium. A map will be sent to schools before the event high lighting parking areas, and how to get to the seminar room.
