3rs in the NSW Story

Abstract

We are living in an age of exponential change and not many of us can comprehend what this means for our future and the future of our young people.
The state of NSW is no exception to this change or growth. This period of flux presents many opportunities and challenges for people across the state as they evolve and adapt to new circumstances in a new learning paradigm. As we grow, change and adapt, we must Reflect on what has worked. Be cognisant on what is truly relevant and understand the direction of what is actually revolutionary and not just a fade.
