2024 AASE National Conference

The Australian Association of Special Education was delighted to present the 2024 Conference in partnership with the Western Australian Education Support Principals and Administrators Association (WAESPAA). The committee invited those working in, and/or associated with the education sector to come together under the 2024 AASE/WAESPAA Conference theme: Empowering Minds, Connecting Hearts.

The 2024 theme acknowledged the importance of providing opportunities for academics, educators, families, community members and key stakeholders to come together to collaborate, share knowledge and learn together.

The 2024 theme acknowledged the importance of providing opportunities for academics, educators, families, community members and key stakeholders to come together to collaborate, share knowledge and learn together.

The 2024 theme also acknowledged the importance of people coming together to respond to the diversity of learners in Australian schools. ‘Empowering Minds, Connecting Hearts’ acknowledged the importance of creating learning environments that equip individuals with the essential knowledge, skills, confidence, and resources necessary for making informed decisions.

Educational leadership has a pivotal role in cultivating an environment where learners and educators alike take charge of their educational journey, fostering self-reliance and capability. Connecting Hearts was about establishing a nurturing and inclusive learning environment, allowing educational leaders, teaching staff, and students to feel understood, valued, and emotionally connected to each other and to the environment, further enriching their overall development.

We enjoyed seeing you all in Fremantle and hope you will join us for our next conference.
