HUB Groups
What are Hub Groups?
Hub Groups are a collection of like-minded Home Economics Professionals who have gathered around a shared interest or for a common goal. The benefits of being part of a Hub Group are networking, support and further learning. Each Hub Group is autonomous and determines the direction and activities according to the interests of its participants. Currently the Hub Groups associated with HEIA SA are based around secondary school Home Economics educators and the regions in which they work. HEIA SA hopes to broaden the scope of Hub Groups available to our members in the near future.

Everyone is welcome!
Despite the odometer clicking into four figures for some travellers, handling tough road conditions and risking collisions with wild animals, Hub Group members generally meets a couple of times a year at a venue that is rotated around the district. This is valued by all to see how productive spaces can be created within existing infrastructure. An agenda is set that includes SACE issues, middle school innovations, HEIA news and a "braggers corner", where we show and tell about something that we've done that's worked well. Most of us are in small or single person faculties, so the support of like-minded colleagues is paramount. If you are new to the district or know someone who is, please let Gaye know so they can be included in the email circulation list.
