  ASLA excitedly launched a series of new Interactive Workshops designed specifically for school library staff ready to grow their leadership influence within their school communities!

  

  We heard you. You wanted more time, more depth, and more space to connect.

  So, we’re delivering.

  An additional session of the ASLA Interactive Workshops: Library Leaders Hub is coming your way — created in direct response to member feedback.

  This extended session will give us the opportunity to slow down, dig deeper, and continue the powerful professional conversations that have been shaping our leadership practice.

  If you missed the first one, you can still join in the learning.

  
  

  We’ll also be revisiting the final components of VOICES — refining, reflecting, and ensuring your leadership narrative is clear, confident and actionable within your school context.

  
  

  Whether you’re strengthening your strategic influence, building advocacy confidence, or shaping the future direction of your library, this session is designed to support you.

  ✨ More time.

  ✨ More collaboration.

  ✨ More leadership growth.

  Thank you for leaning in, speaking up, and helping us shape a professional learning experience that truly meets the needs of school library leaders.

  • Library assistants and support staff aspiring to leadership

  Educators will appreciate the value of literature that fronts the experiences of school-age children in a sensitive and age-appropriate way. But what happens when that literature also addresses content of a distressing nature?

  How can we use literature about the Holocaust in a manner that doesn't unduly confront its audience and preclude their ability to empathise?

  In this session, Simon Holloway (Melbourne Holocaust Museum) will be in conversation with Suzy Zail, author of numerous Holocaust novels including Inkflower, winner of the 2024 CBCA Shadow-judges’ Book of the Year for Older readers, and English teacher Patricia Di Donato.

  By looking at the use of Holocaust-themed literature in the classroom, viewers will be provided with greater insight into the importance of such texts and the means by which they might be used most effectively.
