Dear Educator,

Do you wish to improve your Digital Literacy skills? Do you want to see and hear about new technologies happening in classrooms?  Do you want to learn of new approaches and ideas to enhance your classroom skills?

As importantly though; do you want a memorable family holiday in beautiful, tropical Far North QLD?

Then why not combine all of these wishes into the one great experience for you, your family and friends?

SIMPLY… register to come to the QSITE CreativITy 2023: Technology in the Tropics two day state conference which is being held in beautiful Cairns, Far North Queensland this September school holidays.  The state conference hasn’t been staged up here since 2006; (and what a memorable time that was!)

The weather up here is beautiful at that time of year and there is just so much to see and do for both past visitors and those who have never been this far north before. Come to the QSITE conference and be a part of a wonderful event and a stay a while longer to have a perfect holiday.   SEE YOU UP HERE, eh!
