The Other Way to Listen Conference Thank you!
The Other Way to Listen Conference with keynote speakers, Elena and Marina from Reggio Emilia, was a great success, much of it due to the wonderful support of the Bold Park Community.
Professionals from all over the world had nothing but praise for the community, staff, environments and the organisation of the conference. We have compiled just a few of the many positive comments from the delegates:
“…This conference rates right up there with Reggio!!”
“Fantastic to be able to see and hear, feel how one school community is continually researching how to truly engage children in learning”.
“True colleagues committed to defending the rights of the child. Also Bold Park families for wonderful food!”
“I love the fact that you offer us something that is unique and needed by so many but offered so rarely”.
“Thank you so much for such an inspiring conference. I just wish all our staff could have come.”
“Wonderful morning teas and lunches”.
“Loved the children’s performance”.
“It was nice being welcomed to a new country and meeting genuine kind people.”
“Listening to Bold Park teachers telling us their journeys of some research - so genuine and real.”
“What an amazing service to yourselves, teachers, communities and children. Thank you for your efforts. The conference was well planned and executed. Congratulations I have learnt so much. It has opened my world.”
“Gillian and team are to be commended for such a wonderful example of what can be done with a strong belief and passion.”
“…Very good to see parental involvement – food and at the dinner socialising”.

Bold Park Community School is an independent co-educational school in Perth, Western Australia, catering for children aged three to fifteen years.
Bold Park CS views children as strong and powerful contributors to their own learning, and gears the curriculum to suit the individual child whilst maintaining government standards.The philosophy and teaching style of the school takes inspiration from many educational philosophers and current research including Social Constructivist philosophers/ educators John Dewey and Lev Vygotsky, nature / place based and brain research and the work of the schools of Reggio Emilia in Northern Italy,
The “Reggio” approach to learning has excited interest and admiration throughout the world and has become renowned for providing high quality education for young children. The “Reggio approach" is just that, an approach. We do not aim to copy Reggio as our culture is different from that of an Italian community. The key principles of Reggio are adapted to our own community and culture.
