Get Involved!

We're keen for you to get involved and share your practice with others! We're looking for workshop presenters for the PENZ 2025 Conference. The theme for this year is:

Lead, Grow, Connect

Our theme celebrates leadership, personal and professional growth, and the power of meaningful connections in shaping the future of physical education.

How to Get Involved

We believe that valuable insights and innovations happen everywhere—whether in the classroom, on the sports field, in the outdoors, or within the broader community. This is your opportunity to showcase your unique practices, research, or experiences that inspire others and contribute to the collective development of physical education in Aotearoa.

Topics of Interest

We encourage abstracts that reflect the conference theme and explore:

  • Innovative teaching strategies and practices.
  • Leadership in physical education.
  • Promoting student well-being and engagement.
  • Integrating mātauranga Māori and cultural perspectives into PE.
  • Sustainable and future-focused education practices.
  • Technology and its role in PE.
  • Building stronger connections between schools, communities, and organisations.
Presentation Formats

We welcome submissions for a variety of formats, including:

  • Workshops
  • Oral presentations
  • Panel discussions
  • Posters or multimedia displays
