Course offerings and Calendar of events
Residential Magic Weaver Courses

These courses are open to all staff. Participants work collaboratively to develop an area of enquiry within
the broader Big Question. They attend the Precinct in Sydney for 2 days and work back at
school in collaborative teams to complete their enquiry. Participants are supported through this
process by the Teacher Academy Director via Zoom meetings. Participants have the opportunity
to share the findings of their inquiry at a celebration of learning at a date and venue to be
negotiated with Heads of Campuses and Regional Principals.
