FEEDBACK FROM DELEGATES AND PRESENTERS
Dear EYES Conference team
Many thanks for your assistance with the organisation and running of our Spring Conference this year. From my perspective as a delegate, the conference organisation was professionally done with sessions easy to access and find, and the program on time and smoothly run. The EYES conference is easily the most valuable professional learning that I access each year and this year was no exception.
I look forward to the 2010 conference.
warm wishes

I have been coming to the EYES conference as a presenter for quite a while now. They have all been a pleasure, this year no exception. Great participation rates, with enthusiastic and generous delegates.
I learn so much at EYES, there are always wonderful speakers and this gives me a chance to reflect on a variety of issues. It’s not all about presenting! The organisation this year was very smooth, and flexible enough to cater for the way people are. Some presenters need time to get their points across, others are more aware of time restraints. It all becomes possible with a flexible attitude. The Sheraton of course was a delight. Their levels of professional support was excellent. I especially like the little, personal, light hearted moments, such as Kathleen Comber doing a finger play in miniature! The conference is joyous, responsive and wonderful.

Just a quick note to say how wonderful the conference was. I think it was one of the best, well done to you and the committee. I was so happy with all my concurrent sessions and have come away with some great ideas - isn’t Louise Porter wonderful, if we could all have a school psych like her - half the problems in school would be solved. It was so nice to catch up with you and Joy too. Joy’s presentation was just amazing, I had tears in my eyes so many times, she is just such a treasure.
Hope you didn’t have to stay back too long, the organisation of the event from an attendees perspective was spot on - very impressive.

EYES CONFERENCE
E.Y.E.S has stood the test of time and as we celebrate the 25th Anniversary we reflect on all that have gone before us to make our Society what it is today. We are very blessed to have Vi Galatis and Pauline Starkey from the original committee, still active on our committee. They are a source of wisdom and knowledge and good old common sense at times and we are very grateful for their presence. The Society has presented PD and run Conferences all these years. It would be impossible to calculate just how many teachers have been touched by E.Y.E.S and the dedicated committee members who have made it all possible. There are so many people to thank.This Conference exceeded my expectations due to our wonderful Events WA and our committed committee: Gillian Venables, Michelle Sullivan, Heather Kerr, Vi Galatis, Pauline Starkey, Leonie Day, Jane Fransz, Giovanna Anfuso, Dianne Donovan, Jodie McQueen, Nicole Brown Laura- Celeste Armstrong and our newer members, Margaret Yagamich and Louise Bloomer, for helping in so many ways to create this Conference and make it fitting of the celebration. The atmosphere was charged with great energy as participants celebrated with us.
A warm thank you to all involved. I feel honoured to be part of this amazing organisation and may it have much to celebrate in the future.
Warmly
Kath Comber
