SEPLA-CON 2026

On behalf of the Special Education Principals' and Leaders' Association NSW (SEPLA) we are excited to invite you to attend SEPLA-CON 2026 which will be held at the ICC Sydney, NSW on Monday, 20 and Tuesday, 21 July 2026.

As we look ahead to SEPLA-CON 2026, we acknowledge that special education in New South Wales and across Australia continues to evolve in response to an ever-changing educational landscape. Schools are navigating new policies, advancing pedagogical practices, and responding to growing community expectations—all while remaining committed to the fundamental mission: ensuring every student has the opportunity to succeed and thrive.

This year’s theme — Together for Tomorrow: Embracing Diversity, Enabling Success — reflects our shared dedication to building an inclusive future by celebrating the strengths of every learner and fostering environments where all students can reach their full potential. It is a call to action to unite as educators, families, and communities in embracing diversity, removing barriers, and enabling success for all.

This vision is deeply aligned with NSW DoE Our Plan for Public Education and the NSW DoE School Excellence Framework, guiding us to foster inclusion, innovation, and continuous growth in all our schools. As a statewide association, NSW SEPLA proudly supports this mission by championing those who work tirelessly in special education, ensuring their vital role is recognised, resourced, and empowered.

We look forward to coming together to inspire change and champion inclusive education across NSW and beyond.
