The PD Workshop "Active and Inclusive Literacy" with Ian Trevaskis and Melinda Lichnovsky-Klock has now been successfully concluded.
Again, we apologise that we are unable to follow the Holiday PD scheduling as set by Wendy in the short term. We hope to be able to return to the regular holiday PD schedule following the announcement of the changes to the DEECD's CRT PLSI (the source of our funding).
