So I thought it would be useful to ponder what ABSA has had to do, and where it might end up in the next few years.  \nWho would have predicted that we would have transformed every ABSA event into an online offering, ranging over more than 100 different topics?  \nThe ABSA Strategic Plan under B: Learning, number 7, states: Online professional learning – Review the current approaches to professional development offered by ABSA and where feasible set up online formats to improve efficiencies and accessibility of programs. What was expected to be a second semester project for us became a task for one week in March, and we are very proud of how far we have come.  \nWho would have predicted that we would produce the first of our online training courses and that over 400 people would have completed it?  \nWe always knew that online training would be a worthwhile addition to our offerings, but the original lockdown faced by us all in Australia gave us time to research worthwhile platforms and develop our first course entitled 'Active Duty'. Work is already underway to develop two additional courses-one a generic induction course for boarding school staff joining the profession, and the second a course aimed at more established boarding staff entitled ‘Ten Tips to be a Successful Boarding House Supervisor’.  \nWho would have predicted that 3557 people would have been online for our events?  \nIt is so exciting to see just how many people have joined in to one of our webinars, the online boarding conference and/or courses. Our Strategic Plan challenges us to have the critical outcome of having the status among boarding schools as the number one provider of knowledge and information relevant to their needs-and we are getting there!  \nWho would have predicted that we could provide such great service to our remote and rural members?  \nThe professional learning opportunities we have now opened up to every boarding staff member in Australia, from Broom","cbCaijR6q3qBhKfL","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijR6q3qBhKfL","pdf",4307122,"English","# Contents\n## Who Would Have Predicted\n## Preparing our Boarders for the Future\n## Cardinal Pell’s Case – Lessons for Employers\n## Why So Many Questions…\n## Don't Call it a Club!\n## When and Why Should I Conduct a Review?\n## The Long Road to School\n## Boarders-Risk Assessments that Protect your Staff and Students\n## Fifty Shades of Grey\n## Psychology and The Ethics of Decision Making\n## Dealing with COVID @ Somerville\n## Orientation Ahead!\n## Boarding School Wellbeing: What did it Look Like in 2020?\n## The Spiritual Laws of Success\n## Station Life – The Cathedral School Townsville Outback Community Boarding Tour\n## Beautiful Boarders: The Huge Value They Add to a School\n## Enhancing Your COVID-19 Toolkit\n## Students Sharing Nudes: Supporting Wellbeing & Meeting Reporting Obligations\n## Gambling, Online Gaming and Addiction – Education, Awareness and Protection.\n## From the Chair","[{\"question\":\"What major change to ABSA events occurred during 2020?\",\"answer\":\"ABSA transformed its events into online offerings, covering more than 100 different topics, in response to border closures and quarantine requirements.\"},{\"question\":\"Which online training course was launched first, and what was its impact?\",\"answer\":\"The first online training course, titled “Active Duty,” was developed and launched, with over 400 people completing it.\"},{\"question\":\"How did ABSA expand access for remote, rural, and international members?\",\"answer\":\"Online professional learning opened participation for boarding staff across Australia, and the webinar series drew participation from international schools including New Zealand, Singapore, and others across multiple countries.\"}]","Lights Out - Volume 13 - Issue 3 - October 2020 | PDF",48]
