Welcome

Registering for Courses

Please ask your Principals to check registrations on our website prior to each course and ensure that the people they are sending are registered (including themselves).

There have been a number of people (teachers and school & system admin) who have come to workshops and were not registered. This can be problematic for the presenter in terms of preparation for class as well as having enough materials run/ready for the training.

Also, please ask Principals to make sure they are approving (or disapproving) their teachers registrations.
