Attending the PHASE Conference over the past few years has been an incredible experience for me. The conference draws International school teachers from across the world to engage in hands-on training with practical strategies that can be used immediately in a physical education setting. I always leave the conference feeling energized, inspired and with many new connections in the PE Community. This is a conference that we will continue to support and attend for years to come
