VIC/TAS Principals' Retreat 2024
VIC/TAS Principals' Retreat 2024

All VIC/TAS Principals are invited to the CSA annual principals retreat for a time of professional learning, connection, personal recreation and great food.

We are currently working towards a program to provide guests with the best possible outcomes and experience and this will be added here later in the year.

Enjoy the spectacular scenery, immersed in nature at Flowerdale Estate. Gracie’s restaurant serves up some of the region’s finest fare as well as a hearty breakfast on the deck. The range of recreational facilities includes a heated indoor swimming pool that looks out on to the paddock of George The Pig and the estate's mischievous goats, fishing in the river onsite as well as a full size tennis court.

The registration cost will include all accommodation, meals, activities and professional development.
