2026 Summer School – a one-week wonder!

Gorgeous candles from the craft workshops

This year’s Summer School condensed 32 presentations, nine cooking classes, three external events, and three movie sessions into a single week instead of the two-week program offered in previous years.

A total of 22 guest speakers contributed to the program, including a retired detective, a fire safety officer, a cardiologist, a gut health professional, and specialists from the Commonwealth Bank and the health sector. Additional presenters covered topics ranging from happy and healthy exercise to artificial intelligence, online safety, and much more.
