INVITATION FROM THE NATIONAL CHAIR

Dear Conference Colleagues

On behalf of the National Directors of Catholic Secondary PrincipalsAustralia, I extend a very warm welcome to our National CaSPAConference for school and system leaders within Catholic Education. The theme in presenting our Association’s Biennial Conference is to explore and discern the Gospel’s challenge: Who is My Neighbour?

The Conference Planning Committee has structured a very topical and relevant program within this year’s theme. The program invitesdelegates to consider the diversity of our faith, culture and traditions of our Church, Australia and the region in which we are placed.

We are privileged to have engaged, as keynote speaker, the Bishop of Darwin, Eugene Hurley. Bishop Hurley will be supported by a range of speakers and workshop presenters as we participatein the conversations regarding Who is my Neighbour? I acknowledge and thank the Conference Planning Committee, which has so generously given much time and expertise in bringing this program together. The Committee is confident that you will find the resulting program to be atimely, challenging and worthwhile experience.

Our conference venue is the Darwin Convention Centre, which is ideally located on the harbourand near the Darwin CBD. I am sure you will enjoy the relaxing environment in which to participatein the quality program of conference sessions as well as the social aspects of the conference.

Delegates are encouraged to attend the Welcome Reception and the Conference Dinner.Networking in a collegial atmosphere has been a feature of our CaSPA conferences and thisyear will be no exception.

Finally I acknowledge, with great appreciation, the generous and loyal support of oursponsors who are listed within this brochure.I encourage all participants to visit their stalls during the conference.

Enjoy the conference and take advantage of this wonderful opportunity to engage withcolleagues and speakers, attend the quality presentations and enjoy the experience ofbeing in Darwin in July.

Yours sincerely

Phil LewisCaSPA National Chair

INVITATION FROM THE CONFERENCE CHAIR

It is my pleasure to be able to invite you to the Top End of Australia for the CaSPA Conference 2014 at the Darwin Convention Centre. Darwin is a richly diverse city where indigenous culture and traditions, with a particularly strong influence from Asia, work to provide a community that aims to be inclusive and respectful of difference adding to the uniqueness of our theme: Who is my neighbour?

We have assembled an experienced and varied selection of keynote speakers to engage, challenge and enlighten all delegates. Led by our Bishop, Eugene Hurley, a passionate advocate for supporting caus-es that advance human dignity and Bishop Vincent Long from Mel-

bourne, who will share his inspiring story from humble beginnings as an asylum seeker from Vietnam to a leading figure in the Catholic Church. Other keynote guests include Tom Harbottle, an expert in business and strategic planning, performance management and conflict resolution; Steve Francis, an articulate and engaging speaker who will guide us through staff resolution and building a healthy work-ing environment and our final keynote speaker will be Darwin’s own, Charlie King, a well-known local ABC commentator and sports enthusiast. Charlie was a commentator at the 2008 Beijing Olympics for ABC, becoming the first Indigenous Australian to commentate at an Olympic Games. Charlie is active in promoting sport and a strong advocate of our indigenous community.

The conference will also provide a number of workshop presenters covering a kaleidoscope of topics including panel sessions with local indigenous leaders, urban and remote school leaders, and issues relevant to student wellbeing and care in Catholic Secondary Schools today. Please take the time to peruse all speaker biographies in our brochure to enable you to map out your areas of interest.

Our venue is magnificently located on the harbour, next to Stokes Hill Wharf and walking distanceto the CBD. It is within easy reach of a range of hotels and accommodation, fine dining, cafes, bars and entertainment.

CaSPA’s Conference is held every two years and has gained a reputation for collegiality, spirit andquality. Of course it is for Secondary Principals in Catholic Schools, however, emerging and system leaders have always been welcomed and will again be most welcome in Darwin.

Our committee has worked hard to ensure we can provide all delegates with an opportunity to absorb, enquire and enjoy all facets of our conference.

We look forward to seeing you for a winter’s break in the Top End!

With best wishes

David FinchConference Chair

PRESENTERS

Catholic – Is there a Difference? Bishop Eugene Hurley, Bishop of Darwin, Diocese of Darwin, NT

Bishop Hurley was Bishop of the Port Pirie Diocese from 1999 – 2007 and was appointed Bishop of the Diocese of Darwin in August 2007. He is currently Chair of the Bishops’ Commission for Pastoral Life, Deputy Chair of Caritas Australia and a member of the Bishops’ Commission for Justice & Development. He has worked insupport of rural and remote communities and has been an advocate for refugees and detainees. He has postgraduate qualification in Education and Counselling.

Abstract: What is it that is unique about a school that we refer to as “Catholic”? What are the challenges as a Principal to identify and manage the “Catholic” dimension of a Catholic School?

Customer Service Principles for PrincipalsTom Harbottle, Managing Director, Training Managers of Australia Tom Harbottle is the Managing Director of Training Managers of Australia Pty Ltd, a company dedicated to helping people and organisations reach their full potential. He has worked for many global organisations including Proctor and Gamble and Cadbury Schweppes in roles from Production Manager, Sales and Marketing Manager to General Manager. He established TMA in 1992 and some of his clients have included Austrade, Australian Army, BP, Campbells Soups, HJ Heinz, Australand, Victorian Government and many more. He also conducts public seminars and conferences in Singapore, Kuala Lumpur,Shanghai, Hong Kong and Jakarta, for senior company and government executives.

Abstract: This program has been designed to raise awareness of the need for Principals to challenge their approach to Customer Service, in order to create the best learning environment for their school.

Who is our Neighbour?Bishop Vincent Long Van Nguyen, Archdiocese of Melbourne, Auxiliary Bishop of Melbourne,Western Region

Bishop Vincent Long was born in 1961 in Dong Nai, Vietnam. After the fall of Saigon in 1975, his family was dispersed. He escaped by boat in 1980 and after 16 months in a refugee camp in Malaysia, he arrived in Australia. In 1983, he joined the Conventual Franciscan Friars and studied for the priesthood. After his priestly ordination on 30 December 1989, Bishop Vincent Long was sent to Rome for further studies and was awarded a licentiate in Christology and Spirituality from the Pontifical Faculty of St Bonaventure.He served as a parish priest for 4 years in Kellyville in NSW and for 7 years in Springvale in Victoria before being elected Superior of the Order of Friars Minor Conventuals in Australia in 2005. He served as Assistant General in Rome from 2008 until 2011 being responsible for the Asia-Oceania section of his Order. On 23 June 2011, he was ordained a bishop and currently he serves as an Auxiliary Bishop of Melbourne.

Abstract: The question of “who is my neighbour?” is a confronting one not only in the context of the asylum seekers debate in Australia but also in the larger context of the Christian response to a secular society. By sharing my personal journey, I hope to create an atmosphere of understanding and solidarity with other less fortunate travellers whose life-journeys deserve no less respect and dignity than ours.

Trust is at the heart of all relationships. Trust impacts on the quality of every relationship, every communication and every

A2/C2 The Changing Governance of Catholic SchoolsPanel Discussion, Presentation and Q & A

Convenor: Robert Clancy, General Manager, Strategy, Catholic Super

Panel: Bishop Eugene Hurley DD, Bishop of Darwin

Sr. Beth Calthorpe RSM, President, Delegated Canonical Administrators, Marymede Catholic College and

Kolbe Catholic College

Mr Peter Bugden, Chair, Catholic Super

Mr. Frank Fitzgerald, Delegated Canonical Administrator, Marymede Catholic College

The panel will give an insight into the changing nature of Catholic school governance from their respective positions.

The panel brings a breadth of experience that covers the perspectives of the Bishop, the Canonical Administrator,

the School Board member and the Principal.

Topics to be covered:

• What does good governance look like?

• What are the lines of responsibility and how are they best defined?

• What changes in governance models can we expect?

A3/C3 A Job for Every Catholic School LeaderPeter O’Beirne, National Director Dare to Lead Project, Principals Australia Institute

While the national education discussion around ‘Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander education’ often focuses on those schools

who have large Indigenous enrolments, there is an equally significant role for every school to play including those with no

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students......and for many Catholic schools, there is the added dimension of how all of

this is part of its ‘mission’. This session will look at how leaders can make sense of an often complex agenda and how to

relate it to their own school context, regardless of Indigenous enrolment profile.

A4/C4 Pumas, Prayers & Pistols – Unity Through the Eyes of the BrokenSam Clear, Managing Director, Harvest INROADS

When Sam Clear set out to walk 15,600km around the world for Christian unity in 2006 he was oblivious to how it would unfold.

The stark reality of the brokenness of both the church and society in general changed the focus of his journey many times over.

The lessons learnt while walking through some of the poorest, and at times the most dangerous places on earth, has provided

some life-long lessons in what it means to be united with those around us. An engaging story of perseverance under extreme

conditions and God’s love in action in the most wonderful ways.

A5 /C5 The Modern Learner – How the Learning & Teaching Has Changed – It’s all in the NetworkKynan Robinson, Professional Development, New Era

For too long ICT has been sold to us as an essential, with little linking to why. How does it make us learn better?

How does it relate to pedagogy?

When we talk about ICT we need to move beyond the tools.

Education has never been about what pencils you have in your pencil case. It is about people – and how they best learn.

So why talk about ICT at all? The reason is, that the way we learn has fundamentally changed because of the

digital world. As educators and leaders we need to be aware of these changes and to be reshaping our schooling

environments to most effectively embed the new pedagogies into our teaching and learning.

This session helps explain digital pedagogies including “networked learning” and provides practical demonstrations

of how to apply it at a schooling level.

WORKSHOPS SESSIONS

WORKSHOPS / SESSIONS

Tuesday 15 July 2014 1.15pm – 2.15pmB1 BelongingMiriam Rose Ungunmerr-Baumann AM, Indigenous Adviser, Catholic Education Office

Our Indigenous students must know and celebrate who they are and how they belong as they move from the known into the

unknown. The recognition and celebration of traditions and relationships are key to making Indigenous students comfortable

and at home in schools wherever they are.

The challenge is, and always has been, how do we help our teachers and children develop deep understandings about the

particular identity of our Indigenous students in our schools across the country. This then informs how they live in the world

and build a new future for our world. How does each student find their cultural identity reflected in the curriculum?

Miriam-Rose and colleagues will investigate these questions and bring their perspective to how, as teachers,

we might capture the hearts and spirits of our children and the hearts and spirits of Australia’s Indigenous peoples

(from the past and in our world today)

B2 Taking an Integrated, Strengths Based Approach to Social & Emotional Wellbeing EducationRichard Midford, Professor of Health in Education - Menzies School of Health Research

Schools and education authorities are increasingly recognising the relationship between young people’s social and emotional

wellbeing, their behaviour and their learning outcomes. This workshop will explore the following issues that need to be considered

in an integrated, strengths-based approach to social and emotional wellbeing education:

• Understanding and building resilience in students

• Teaching students practical skills that safeguard and enhance their wellbeing

• Creating a positive classroom environment that promotes personal development as part of the learning process

• Developing whole school strategies that promote student wellbeing

• Working with family and community to support student wellbeing

• Identifying and responding to individual students in need of greater wellbeing support and

• Looking after your own wellbeing

B3 How You Implement Customer Service Principles for PrincipalsTom Harbottle, Managing Director, Training Managers of Australia

This program has been designed to raise awareness of the need for Principals to challenge their approach to Customer Service

in order to create the best learning environments for their school.

B4 Peter’s StoryPeter Emmanual Selasteen, Cleaner - MacKillop Catholic College

Peter’s story is a recount of one young man’s journey from his war torn home to the safety of Australia. This workshop will

provide you with insight in to the reason why someone would undertake such a perilous journey across open seas from Sri Lanka

to Malaysia and finally Australia. Peter will describe for you the obstacles and hardships of life in the detention centre on

Christmas Island and here in the Berrimah Detention Centre. The struggle with bureaucracy to finally call Australia his home.

B5 Succession Planning Facilitated by Michael Lee, Principal, St Mary MacKillop College, Canberra, ACT

This session will consist of a panel of Principals who will present ideas for succession planning in their schools or system.

It will be a workshop that will identify pathways to schools’ leadership, professional learning and qualities that should be

evident in aspiring school leaders.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Conference Venue

Looking to the city from the edge of the Arafura Sea, Darwin Convention Centre is an iconic landmark of Australia’s

tropical harbour city. Its waterfront setting is quite befitting. To the Larrakia people the harbour is a place of connection where,

for centuries, they have welcomed visitors while trading with other indigenous tribes and Southeast Asian neighbours. Darwin Convention

Centre is a multi-awarded venue with experienced, dedicated, and enthusiastic professionals committed to making any event the best it can be.

What to Wear

Dress for the Conference is smart casual for all events.

Weather

Dry season in Darwin, while still warm to hot by any standard, do provide much better sleeping conditions due to lower temperatures in the

evenings coupled with a lack of humidity and very little, if any, rainfall throughout the entire June-July period. Many feel that these climate

circumstances make the dry the ideal season to visit Darwin and truly enjoy what it has to offer without the consistent worry of dehydration

or sunburn (although, of course, the sunshine around midday is still very strong, especially in comparison to some of the cities in Australia’s

Southern regions.) The “cooler” dry nights mean you may want to pack a light cardigan or other covering, but you will rarely need to wear

clothes such as a heavy jacket even in Darwin’s coldest period - frost has never been recorded in the city’s history.

Delegates with special requirements should ensure details are included on the registration form in the ‘special diet or other requirements’ section.

Special dietary requirements must be advised in advance, as special meals cannot be arranged without seven days notice to the venue. During
