The
11th. St. Gabriel's Teachers Weekend: will be held at
Wokefield Park conference centre on the weekend of 29th-30th September
2012. Funded by the St Gabriel's Trust, the conference is free
to those teachers chosen to attend. The conference theme will
be "From Here to Outstanding – Pushing the Boundaries
for RE" and will provide professional development and discussion
on the key issues in religious education today.
This weekend will create space for colleagues to engage and emerge
confident in pushing the boundaries for outstanding RE. There
are as many opportunities to reshape the subject as there are
challenges. To register an interest in being invited to the conference,
teachers are advised to contact Jessie Sim at the Culham Institute
