Events
Three PRISE team members travelled to Apia to work with all staff at Moata'a Primary School. We will work together over 2024 to develop and implement goals to assist teachers in practices. These practices will align with the principles and practices underpinning a quality and innovative learning environment. Teachers from St Theresa's School in Newcastle will also participate in the programme. The programme has been made possible through funding from the Maitland-Newcastle Catholic Diocese in partnership with the University of Newcastle.

Vanuatu Inclusive Teacher Education
In September 2022, members of Pacific RISE (Dr Jo Anderson, Professor Chris Boyle, Dr Angela Page) conducted a week-long workshop for teachers in Vanuatu. The workshop targeted inclusive teaching practices that focused on students with disability but also involved the development of teaching skills to address all students’ needs. Planning for 30 teachers, we welcomed just under 100 staff who wanted to attend. The post-workshop survey indicated that teachers were more knowledgeable and confident in considering adopting inclusive teaching practices as a result of the interactive sessions.
