Frontline Leadership:  Maximising Potential

The Professional Development Network in partnership with the Centre for Leadership and Management in Education thank you for your attendance at the 12th Annual Conference on Educational Leadership, Frontline Leadership:  Maximising Potential.

The 2008 PDN School Leaders Conference was held at the Sofitel Gold Coast, Broadbeach on Thursday 28 - Friday 29 August, 2008.  The Conference was a great success with Conference commendations including:

   I really enjoyed the opportunity for personal professional development.  It allowed me time to breathe and apply understandings and new knowledges to school issues.

Great to be able to have the time for professional interaction and collegiality. A very enjoyable, re-energising and productive 2 days.
Congratulations PDN on an outstanding effort! This is the best conference I have been to in 20 years!  I will be back next year.
