The Venue - Stuartholme School

The Society believes in leading by example. It's commitment to its values is expressed through its events and activities. The Society sought a school whose values are in alignment with the values of the Society and whose name has been associated with pedagogical innovation.

Stuartholme's goals which focus on social justice, its international links, and it's association with and commitment to innovative pedagogical practices (The Innovation and Best Practices Report , Cuttence, 2001; The Next Generation Learning Project 2007-2008 AGQTP and subsequent implementation of 1:1 iLearn programme across the school) encouraged the committee to approach the school to host this event. The Society is grateful to Stuartholme for agreeing to the request.

Stuartholme School is situated in the foothills of Mt Coot-tha, between Brisbane city and the Brisbane Forrest Park. It is 5km from the city centre and commands views over the city and out to the islands of Moreton Bay.
