Regional Workshop<br />

Series<br />

In 2010, <strong>ACHPER</strong> <strong>QLD</strong> took the opportunity<br />

to expand our successful regional workshop<br />

series to include not only the Toowoomba<br />

and Gold Coast areas but also the Sunshine<br />

Coast. This was met with enthusiasm from the<br />

local teachers on the North Coast with over 30<br />

attending in its inaugural year.<br />

Toowoomba workshop was first to receive<br />

the benefits of professional development<br />

on Friday 26 March , 48 teachers gathered<br />

at the Toowoomba SHS Mt Lofty Campus<br />

to hear from Department of Education<br />

representatives, Department of Communities,<br />

Sport and Recreation Services, the ARL,<br />

Kids Sports, Acceleration and Skills Alliance.<br />

In addition, Toowoomba received the benefit<br />

of over 10 local sporting organisations<br />

gathering with a trade show during the<br />

lunch break, and a Jump Rope for Heart<br />

Presentation. The workshop was, as always,<br />

well received with participants rating the<br />

organisation and content as excellent in<br />

evaluations.<br />

The final workshop was delivered at Burnside<br />

State High School in Nambour on the<br />

Sunshine Coast Workshop on Thursday,<br />

3 June 2010. Thirty two teachers attended the<br />

workshop from 22 different schools. This was<br />

pleasing in view of this being an inaugural<br />

event in this area. The program was again a<br />

similar coverage of topics relevant to the HPE<br />

as received at Toowoomba and Gold Coast.<br />

Many thanks must go to Jocelyn Balmer who<br />

coordinated the delivery of all three regional<br />

workshops with excellent feedback from all<br />

attendees and presenters. Recognition and<br />

thanks must also go to HART Sport, Skills<br />

Alliance, Teachers Union Health, Acceleration,<br />

Darling Downs School Sport and the Gold<br />

Coast Physical Activity Alliance for the<br />

support provided to the workshops.<br />

The Gold Coast workshop was delivered on<br />

Friday 28 May and was well attended with<br />

57 teachers present. A similar program to<br />

Toowoomba was available with the addition<br />

of QPEC and some local school teachers<br />

presenting. Support from the Gold Coast<br />

Physical Activity Alliance and South Coast<br />

School Sport in the delivery of the workshop<br />

was well appreciated.<br />
