Convenor's Message

The Middle Years of Schooling Association Inc (MYSA) invites all those committed to the education, growth and development of young adolescents to its 5^th International Conference being held 17 - 19 May 2007.

Middle Schooling: Reaching New Heights Building Our Future

As Conrad Jupiters on the Gold Coast was a most popular venue in 2005, it has been selected as the venue for the 2007 Conference.

We invite you to reach new heights in your knowledge and understanding of adolescence, in creating positive learning environments and in developing partnerships to build bright and rewarding futures for our young people.

The program will feature international and national keynote speakers, theme papers, presentations showcasing effective practice, pre-conference workshops, school site visits and active student participation. It is anticipated the presentations will highlight the successes of those reaching new heights in catering for the diversity of learners in the middle years of schooling.

In all previous MYSA conferences, the maximum number of delegates has been reached prior to the closing date, so early registration is encouraged to avoid disappointment. Registration brochures will be distributed early Term 4, 2006.

We look forward to your support and participation.
