Lara’s journey from personal experience to systemic change began with one powerful aim: to create spaces where everyone – especially neurodivergent individuals – can feel safe, included, and heard.

AI is already in classrooms. But what does it look like in practice? In this session, Jeremy Ferguson from Kōwhai Intermediate and Andrew Paul Hancock from Howick College share their stories. They’ll discuss what’s working, what’s tricky, and what’s next as teachers, students and schools try new tools.

Thinking about postgraduate study but not sure what it’s like? Join us for an information session on academyEX’s Postgraduate Certificate in Digital & Collaborative Learning, and our Masters in Contemporary Education.

If there is one event to add to your business calendar - this is it. In our fast paced world the only constant is change. You can either move with it, or let it pass you by. Join academyEX founder and renowned futurist, Frances Valintine for the popular Quarterly Briefing to keep ahead of groundbreaking trends in Business and Technology Disruption.

With her expertise in global trends, Frances will unpack the future of technology, sustainability, and education, and introduce you to the game-changing AI tools you didn’t even know you needed.

Don’t miss this opportunity to be inspired, challenged, and equipped for what’s about to change the world (it's not what you think!)

Thinking about taking the next step in your learning journey?

Join us for a relaxed breakfast at academyEX, where you’ll get a taste of what it’s like to study a Master of Technological Futures (MTF) or a Master of Change & Organisational Resilience (MCOR).

If you’ve been toying with the idea of a Masters in Technological Change or Masters in Change & Organisational Resilience, you probably have questions. Big ones.

The primary sector is changing fast. Curriculum shifts, staffing challenges, and new digital tools are reshaping schools. Lucy Naylor, Head of the Auckland Primary Principals’ Association, joins us to share what leaders are talking about right now.

We're so very proud of what you have achieved, and it’s been an absolute pleasure to be part of your journey. We can't wait to celebrate with you!
