A world of gratitude to each and every one of our participants who helped to make our 2018 National Conference such an extraordinary learning, sharing and connecting event. 

Over the course of the conference, we laughed together, cried together, and could not help but be inspired by the tremendous work being done by governments, universities, researchers, parents, health professionals, school leaders and educators who each share a common goal – to improve the wellbeing of our young people and the wider community, to build character, and to teach optimism, compassion, gratitude and resilience.

 What a thrill it was to bring such a dizzying array of moving parts together – 18 keynotes including the ‘father’ of Positive Psychology himself, Dr Martin Seligman, 20 masterclasses, 99 workshops, 100+ presenters, and 370 residential guests, not to mention our evening activity programs which included a gala dinner for 550 and a wellbeing adventure race!

 A special vote of thanks to our host, Geelong Grammar School – a shining light in the world of Positive Education.  We could not be more grateful for the hundreds of hours of work done behind the scenes to help us to deliver a world-class conference.  We thank principal, Rebecca Cody, and her staff for their dedication and generosity of spirit.

 We can’t wait to learn, share and connect with you again at #PESA2019!
