Your Time for My Time Our Place Conference (Brisbane)

        Exclusively for Outside School Hours Care - our latest conference offering for 2020!

The latest ACECQA data shows that Quality Area One (QA1) of the National Quality Standard is rated at working towards more than any other standard. This is no surprise, as since the introduction of the National Quality Framework in 2012, educators have been screaming for more professional development on The Framework for School Age Care, My Time Our Place (MTOP). That's why we've developed this conference, to give MTOP the attention that it rightly deserves, and to put you in the best position to meet or exceed QA1 of the NQS.

OSHC educators, it's here......finally, a conference developed just for you!  We've heard your frustration about the lack of professional development targeted to the unique needs of Outside School Hours Care services, and we've done something about it........the Your Time for My Time Our Place Conference is about OSHC, for OSHC. 

This conference promises to to provide a day of deep thinking about how MTOP can authentically shape and improve your program and practice. Examples from practitioners around Australia will provide inspiration and motivation to rekindle your relationship with MTOP, and guide your ongoing commitment to quality OSHC provision. 

Conference participants will gain an insight into: 

• Meeting and exceeding Quality Area One of the National Quality Standard

• The objectives of MTOP

• the principles, practices and outcomes of MTOP

• MTOP and Assessment and Rating

• authentic programming that reflects MTOP principles, practices and outcomes

• MTOP and the planning cycle

Join us for this full day event, and leave with renewed commitment, confidence and strategies to implement at your service the very next day.....

Morning tea and lunch included
