This exciting new initiative is about bringing Languages teachers together beyond the Perth metro area, building regional connections, and expanding the reach of our vibrant teaching community. This is a fantastic opportunity to connect with colleagues in regional WA, share your expertise, and support the growth of our Languages Education community across the state.
