Kristin School takes pleasure in inviting colleagues to attend this year’s AAIBS Conference, to be held 25-27 September, 2010. Located on Auckland’s North Shore, Kristin is New Zealand’s largest co-educational, K – 13 school and its most established IB school. Auckland is at its finest in the spring and the conference will provide an opportunity for colleagues to network and learn whilst also enjoying all that the City of Sails has to offer.

This year’s conference theme, ‘Coming of Age’, will allow the opportunity to explore how current trends and pressing issues in Australasia and around the globe are making the core principles of the IB more relevant and essential than ever in the education of our young people.

Further updates will be made in the coming months – please check our websitewww.kristin.school.nz or the AABIS website www.aaibs.org regularly. Registrations for the conference will open in April, 2010.

Call for Breakout Session Presentations

We are now calling for presentations which encompass the conference theme to complement an exciting list of key-note addresses. IB practitioners are invited to submit a proposal to lead a workshop or presentation during the conference.

Ideally presenters will be available to deliver their workshop in two breakout sessions during the two full conference days, 26/27 September, 2010. Conference registration fees will be waived for presenters.

Please forward a brief summary of your proposal to incorporate the conference theme ‘Coming of Age’ into a breakout session by March 15, 2010. Successful applicants will be notified in early April.
