Welcome from the National Executive Director
|
|
For much of Australia this week is a welcome back in schools to a new academic term.
ACHPER is excited by new developments that will support members, stakeholders and partners in leading the
ACHPER purpose of enhancing the health and wellbeing of all.
ACHPER is very pleased at being able to announce the
Academic Advisory Group (AAG). Chaired by renowned academic Professor Dawn Penney and consisting of Ass Prof Karen Swabey, Ass Prof Maree Dinan-Thompson, Dr Deana Leahy, Ass Prof John Quay, Dr Drew Miller and Jennifer Fane, the group will ensure
ACHPER is led by current evidence based research. The AAG will provide leadership and insight into collaboration between academic and professional communities and is an opportunity for
ACHPER to provide further support for you in achieving the
ACHPER purpose.
Also of note in this Advocate e news is the launch of the
ACHPER
Global HPE consultancy service. This formalises the work that has been progressed by
ACHPER
in the last three years and more, whilst engaging and strengthening with Global (international) networks. From the existing networks of Physical Education New Zealand (PENZ), SHAPE America, PHE Canada (and others), to emerging markets in Asia,
ACHPER
has been forging the manner in which we may support global consultancy whilst recognising local context. The formation of the relationship with APPEC in Hong Kong three years ago is a good example of how
ACHPER
may offer and learn from the reciprocal sharing of information and understandings.
