LIVE ONLINE · FRIDAY 30 OCTOBER
join us online for Introduction to Restorative Practices in schools this October
A full day on the thinking, the language and the practice behind restorative work in schools. Live on Zoom, Friday 30 October, 9:00am to 3:30pm AEDT.
A Full day on the foundations
Introduction to Restorative Practice is the foundation course. No prior training is assumed and nothing is taken as given. We cover why restorative work does what it does, the specific language it relies on to address unexpected behaviour and harm.
There is practice time throughout the day. You will not spend six hours listening.

CURRICULUM FRAMEWORK
What You Will Explore
A structured journey bridging evidence-based relational neurobiology with practical communication tools designed for immediate professional application.
Neuroscience of Connection
Understand how our human brain processes information and the vital role of relational trust and safety.
Restorative Language
Master affective phrasing, compassionate inquiry, and calibrated questioning that invites honesty and accountability.
Navigating Conflict
Navigate relational friction with composure. Acquire clear protocols to address harm, repair fractured trust, and reset relationships constructively.
It usually happens in the thirty seconds
after something goes wrong
A student says something you cannot let go. The room is watching. You have a traditional response ready, and even as it leaves your mouth you know it will not change anything.
Most of us were never taught another option. We were taught to control behaviour, hold the line, follow the flow chart. What we were not taught is how to stay in relationship with a young person while still holding them accountable.
Both of those things can be true at once. That is the whole of this work, and it is learnable.
