Australia's Science Forum

Hi everyone,
Has anyone heard any more information on the workshop to be held somewhere in port on the same days as st marys.
Just curious on where it will be held, if it is still going ahead, what we have to bring, Any of those basic questions.
I haven't heard a thing since I applied. And at that stage some of the location details were wrong on the form.
Thanks Trish.

Ps If no-one knows anything I will then email the organisers

Hi Trish
We have someone from Port coming the the conference at St Mary's not sure about on in Port
Sorry

Trish, I understood that it was being held at Port Macquarie High School. Since first being told that, (by the organisers) however, Sharon Ford knew nothing about it, nor did her HT or SAM. I think Sharon has been off sick, so am not sure what is going on there now.

I posted this under another thread a few weeks ago it may be what you are after.

It is the same course, and I have applied to go, but when the confirmation details came back to my SAM they said that the location had not been determined and some other information may need updating.
We shall wait and see.
Trish.

I can happily say that I just spoke to Richard Morante and he confirmed that it will be held on the 26th & 27th of November. The location will be at Camden Haven High School instead of Port Macquarie High.
