Dr Adam Fraser is coming back to WAPPA!

Following his keynotes at this year’s Fotoworks WAPPA Conference, Adam is returning for an exclusive member workshop, Moving Beyond the Silent Cost: Strategies to Protect Yourself and Your Team from Secondary Trauma.

The workshop will help school leaders recognise the impact of secondary traumatic stress, manage the emotional demands of their roles and develop practical strategies to support their wellbeing.

We’re pleased to bring this valuable learning opportunity to our members, continuing an important conversation from conference and supporting the people who give so much to their school communities.

Happy World Teachers' Day!

Because we all know that a 'quiet walk down the hallway' is sometimes more of a creative interpretation!

Today, we're celebrating the teachers who navigate the unexpected and make a difference every single day.

To all teachers, including our aspiring school leaders within WAPPA, thank you for the energy, heart and dedication you bring to education.

We appreciate you! 💙

You spend your days supporting others. But who is supporting you?

School leaders navigate complex student needs, staff wellbeing concerns, family challenges and growing community expectations every day. Over time, that emotional load can take a toll on your wellbeing, decision making and capacity to lead.

Following his WAPPA Conference keynotes, Dr Adam Fraser returns to Perth for Moving Beyond the Silent Cost, an exclusive full day workshop focused on protecting yourself and your team from secondary trauma.

Drawing on his research into Secondary Traumatic Stress in education, Adam will help you:

• Recognise the signs of secondary traumatic stress in yourself
• Understand the “Stress Tunnel” and how to move beyond reactive patterns
• Develop practical strategies to manage stress, prevent burnout and strengthen resilience
• Create a personal action plan to support your wellbeing while leading others

WAPPA has heavily subsidised this workshop, bringing the member price to $275 for a day that would normally cost twice that amount.

Whether you attended Adam’s conference keynotes or are joining him for the first time, this workshop offers practical learning you can apply immediately.

📅 Monday 9 November | 9am to 3pm
📍 Ambrose Estate, Wembley
🎟️ $275 | Exclusive to WAPPA members

Invest in the person your school relies on every day: YOU.
