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.
