Round Square at Westminster School.
Young Round Square Regional Conference 04‐09 October 2015
No-One's an Island
The theme is based on the importance of working together and making connections with others, as 'no‐one's an island'. The conference will celebrate and explore the IDEALS incorporating environmental challenges and service opportunities. There will be learning experiences in both urban and rural settings. The Education Outdoors facilities of Scotch Oakburn College's Valley Campus in the Fingal Valley will host a significant part of the conference and will be the base for these 'rural' learning adventures. The Elphin and Penquite Campuses will be the central 'urban' learning environments for the delegation; accommodation in Launceston will be at our Boarding House. Learning and making connections with the Island State, Tasmania, will be one of the key messages for delegates. Westminster School
