Expert Teachers Unite: 2025 HALT Summit Sparks National Collaboration
Over 500 delegates packed the QT Hotel Canberra for this year's Highly Accomplished and Lead Teacher (HALT) Summit – our most ambitious hybrid event yet, with national livestreaming bringing expert teachers together from coast to coast.
The theme Spark Ideas, Ignite Impact proved prophetic as HALTs, aspiring HALTs, education leaders, and system representatives connected over two intensive days of professional learning. From powerful keynotes to hands-on workshops and the crowd-favourite HALT-led Sharespace sessions, delegates dove deep into how expert teachers can drive collective improvement.
Star-studded lineup: Louka Parry, Dr Nathaniel Swain, Kristen Douglas, Joel Copeland, Kristy Everding, Andrew Fuller, Penny Brown, and Steven Kolber delivered learning experiences grounded in evidence and energized by shared commitment to professional growth.
The real magic? Watching expert teachers share their practice, learn from each other, and walk away with concrete strategies to amplify their impact in schools and early learning centres across Australia.
The 2025 Summit proved that when you bring together the nation's most accomplished educators, ideas don't just spark – they ignite transformation.
