PROGRAM | REGISTER | CONFERENCE LOGISTICS | FAQ

You're invited to the HTAV Annual Conference! Themed Ignite History, the conference will feature an impressive range of workshops, lectures and practical seminars that will provide ideas for engaging classroom strategies, activities and pedagogy to help build on the learning outcomes of students.

Learn from experts from schools and organisations across Victoria in an environment filled with like-minded educators. This is an experience rich with insights that you can take back to your classrooms and share with your school community.

Teachers consistently tell us how valuable it is to step beyond their own school gates to advance their subject-specific knowledge and practice. Gather new strategies, share experiences and leave re-energised.

We hope you can join us for this collegial and enriching experience.

We acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the First Australians and Traditional Custodians of the lands where we live, learn and work. The HTAV Office is located on the lands of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation. These lands were never ceded. We pay our respect to their ancestors and Elders, past and present.

Please note: Members of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities should be aware that the HTAV website may include images or names of people now deceased.
