“Attending the conference is an essential event to network, share good practice and keep abreast of trends and upcoming events in sport, health, well-being and physical education.”
“This was my first AoC Sport Curriculum Conference and I was a little apprehensive as to whether I would gain anything from it - how wrong I was! The breakout sessions were informative and the speakers shared some relevant and current information that I am thrilled to take back to my colleagues. I will be back next year!”
“Attending the sport conference was an enriching experience. The chance to network with colleagues from other colleges was invaluable. I appreciated the diverse perspectives and insights shared by the speakers, which broadened my understanding and inspired fresh ideas. Overall, it was a fantastic opportunity to connect, learn, and grow within the sports community.”
