We are looking forward to celebrating the final instalment of the LESS is More series in one week! We have the guest speakers returning, a resource book and it wouldn’t be a party without pizza! We’re very fortunate to have our WA Mayfielders facilitate and present this year’s topic ‘Culture and Design’ to conclude this series. We also have the unique opportunity to view the JEDI fire side chat ‘Kids Growing Up’. JEDI sounds really cool… and we’ve got our dictionary definitions from Oxford to help us understand the acronym! J.E.D.I stands for Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion but the definition of a Star Wars Jedi works just as well.
