When:  Jun 10, 2026 from 17:00 to 19:00 (ET)

ACEL WA Hot Topic Event: Leading in a Climate of Change - Sometimes we are the disruption within the disruption

Are you an educator who leads or wants to lead, but wonders what it is like to not only lead in a different context but to be the disruption within the contextual shift?    

Join us for a dynamic conversation, facilitated by MC extraordinaire, Gary Racey (Education Consultant - School Improvement AISWA and ACEL WA Vice President), as we explore the challenges, opportunities, and real-life experiences of educators who have stepped into a contextual shift. They’ll tackle your big questions and share the struggles, the wins, the surprises, and strategies for success.

What to expect:
• Honest conversations about the challenges and complexities of adjusting to a new role in a new context
• Practical advice for stepping out of your comfort zone and into the unknown from the daftey of the known
• Insights on leaders navigate challenges and seize new opportunities
• A chance to ask YOUR burning questions!

Who you’ll hear from:
Peter Allen, Principal, Guildford Grammar
Lisa Fogliani, Principal, Aranmore Catholic College
Stephen Jeffrey, Consultant Campaigns and Projects, Department of Education
