QATA AGM

SUNDAY| February 22 2026

11.15am

Join QATA members, friends and colleagues to hear Jemima Wyman discuss her retrospective exhibition at QUT followed by the QATA AGM and light refreshments. Many thanks to QUT Art Museum staff for their generous hosting of this event.

At the AGM all executive positions will be declared vacant. We always love to see new faces and welcome our regulars. Be sure to nominate if you would like to be more involved through an official QATA position. Among other benefits of being involved in your professional association, it’s a fabulous way of capturing evidence for a Highly Accomplished or Lead Teacher application. View previous AGM minutes or nominate for a position below.

Please register your attendance for catering purposes as we’ll be supplying refreshments.

Not in Brisbane? Please select online when you register and we’ll provide you with a zoom link.

We’re looking forward to a big catch up with everyone! We’d particularly like to hear from teachers outside the metro area and find out how you would like QATA to support you, teachers in your area, and your students.

Please note: You do not have to nominate for a position to attend the AGM.

Jemima Wyman: Deep Surface

Marking 30 years since Wyman began her undergraduate studies at QUT, Deep Surface is the first career survey of this Los Angeles–based Australian artist and Palawa woman.

MARCH

ART TEACHER CAMP

FRIDAY 6 – SUNDAY 8 MARCH 2026

CAMP IS SOLD OUT.

Immerse yourself in a transformative professional development experience at the Art Teacher Camp on Stradbroke Island / Minjerribah. Designed specifically for arts educators, this weekend offers an inspiring blend of place-based learning, creative exploration, and First Nations cultural insight. Guided by lead artist and educator Andrew Peachey, alongside Fiona Vicig and Delvene Cockatoo Collins, participants engage in hands-on workshops and site-responsive activities that deepen understanding of both artistic practice and Minjerribah’s cultural and environmental heritage.

This immersive approach directly supports AITSL Standards by enriching teachers’ capacity to know students and how they learn through experiential and creative processes; strengthening their ability to know the content and how to teach it through exposure to diverse artistic methods and First Nations perspectives; and enhancing their skills in planning for and implementing effective teaching and learning by modelling authentic, place-based pedagogy akin to an IA1 stimulus. Additionally, the collaborative nature of the camp fosters meaningful professional learning and provides opportunities to engage professionally with colleagues, parents/carers, and the community, equipping educators with renewed confidence, cultural awareness, and innovative strategies to bring back to their school contexts.
