2026 K-12 Curriculum Reform Conference: Learning with Grace - expert practice at the heart

About this event

After three successful years, the CSNSW Curriculum Reform Conference is evolving — and coming directly to you.

Since 2023, Catholic Schools NSW has brought together leading voices in Catholic mission, education, curriculum, pedagogy and assessment, providing diocesan school systems and schools with expert guidance and practical support in implementing the NSW Curriculum Reform. 

In 2026, we’re bringing the learning virtually into your staffroom and diocesan offices.

On Monday 20 July, first day of Term 3, all schools across NSW will have access to an exciting online professional learning program designed to strengthen capability, deepen understanding and showcase successful curriculum implementation.

The 2026 K-12 Curriculum Reform Conference: Learning with Grace - expert practice at the heart will rollout everything our conferences are known for - inspiring keynotes, engaging breakout sessions and opportunities to network with your colleagues.
