"All of the special little touches, little gifts and sessions on wellbeing are always so lovely. It sets your PD apart from EVERY other PD. It is so special to feel as though I am part of a generous and passionate network of teachers who totally understand the increasing demands placed on us as teachers, but despite this are SO willing to share and grow together."

"I loved having the opportunity to connect with other CAFS teachers to share experiences and build upon knowledge. It was also invaluable to hear from all the presenters, including Kell. Each presenter was perfectly picked to our needs. I honestly wouldn't change anything about the day - it was all magic."

Your Host: Kell Bell

Community and Family Studies has been part of my life
for over 20+ years. 

When I first started teaching CAFS, I had no idea what I was doing but I instantly fell in love with our subject. 

Since 2007 I have been presenting student revision sessions and since 2010 PL across NSW supporting close to
8000 students and 4000 teachers. 

From seasoned presenter, to textbook writer and resource developer; I have seen it all over the last 20 years and I am bringing the goods when it comes to CAFS. 

With 16 years as a HSC marker, 5 of those years as the Supervisor of Marking in CAFS  I will bring you engaging activities and practical strategies to make your life so much easier in CAFS BUT also support you to improve your student marks. 

This event is not just about learning, but also about connecting with teachers who get it. 

I can't wait to see your smiling face in real life!
