About Us

The HALT Association NSW was officially launched in September 2022 where a Board was elected at the AGM. One of the first tasks of the Board was to confer a Constitution and establish a Mission Statement and subsequent key aims. These have become the foundation of the Association and ensure that all activities align with the key objectives.

Mission Statement

The HALT Association NSW is a professional forum for HALTs and aspiring HALTs to share, collaborate, explore research and provide targeted, high-quality professional learning to build leadership, quality teaching and impact on student learning. The HALT Association NSW is proudly cross-sectoral with representatives from NSW Public Schools, Catholic Schools NSW and Association of Independent Schools NSW.
