Today we’ll be hearing a range of perspectives on, and information about, DSQ’s up coming Parent Education Conference.

The conference is held bi-annually and for the first time ever, this year the parent stream of the conference will be held separately from the Teacher’s conference.

QDSAN members Michael Cox and Claire Mitchell dive deep into what is on offer at the conference; and in the second half of the episode, we hear from two parents who attended the 2021 conference as they reflect upon what they gained from it and how it has supported their children’s subsequent transition to school.

The conference will be held in person at DSQ’s Ascot office (77 Kitchener Rd, Ascot) onTuesday, 14th March from 9.00am–2.00pm.

It will also be recorded, so that those who can’t attend in person can still benefit.

Registration (for either option) is essential. Find out more here.
