The disruption and uncertainty caused by unexpected events can threaten to obscure what we most value in education – our purpose, our people, and our place.

In an uncontrolled environment, sometimes the present is all we have capacity to focus on.

The vision that we had for where we want to be and what we want to achieve grows dim as we focus on the immediacy of what is required. Remembering our people, our purpose and our vision is a powerful tool.

The ISNZ Annual Conference in 2022 shall offer an opportunity for delegates to reflect, review and consider the future of education, our schools for tomorrow, and the essential elements of leadership and wellbeing in a time of uncertainty.

Our expert speakers shall explore and challenge delegates to review the purpose of our schools with reference to the place of innovation in independent schools, our contribution to equity in education, global citizenship, social impact, diversity and wellbeing.

We’ll explore the paradigm shift in attracting and retaining talent, and we’ll question a school’s responsibility in allowing every human being to acquire the knowledge, skills, attitudes, and values necessary to shape a sustainable future.

In the event of having to withdraw from the conference, a substitute delegate is welcome at no extra charge.

Due to the possibility of ongoing uncertainty around government regulations on mass gatherings in response to COVID, at any particular time or region, ISNZ may have no choice but to cancel the conference. By registering for this event, you acknowledge and accept this possibility and accept that this is not valid grounds for requesting a full refund. In the event of cancelling the conference in Wellington, ISNZ would give a partial refund, the amount of which would be dependent on the cancellation penalties that ISNZ would incur from speakers, AV providers and the venue and catering providers.
