Building Australia's Values Base
Leading researcher Mark McCrindle of McCrindle Research will address this year’s Parliament House Dinner, part of the Christian Schools Policy Forum, (May 24 – 26, Rydges Capital Hill Canberra).
For the first time in a while there’s a serious debate on about Australia’s future population. On current trends alone our population will reach 27 million before 2020. Policy makers and demographers are seriously considering rates of 35 million by 2050.
There’s a lot of new infrastructure required to service such a population: that’s a discussion in itself. But more importantly, what infrastructure of values and beliefs is needed to ensure a productive, caring and stable nation?
Mark McCrindle is ideally placed to address this question. Mark is a respected social researcher, author, conference speaker, industry consultant and media commentator. He is a gifted speaker, himself the product of a Christian school education.
May Policy Forum - free gift for early registration!
The Christian Schools Policy Forum each year gathers leaders from across the Christian schools movement for fellowship and policy discussion. Leaders from a number of christian schools associations and systems are invited to attend. This year’s conference will include crucial information and provide the chance to input into the discussion about national curriculum, assessment and the funding review. Programme details will be announced in the near future.
Registrations are now open for the 2010 Forum. The first 100 people to register will receive a free copy of the Open House book (either Vol 1 or 2). These include conversations drawn from the weekly Christian radio programme of Sheridan Voysey, last year’s Dinner speaker. These book have a wealth of stimulating material, also very suitable as thought starters and teaching illustrations. (Available for collection at registration for the first 100 to book online).
