The 2011 AARE Conference in Hobart was a great success. 660 people attended and I have received a flurry of compliments and congratulations. People have commented particularly on the quality of the presentations, the outstanding activities for Post Graduate Students and Early Career Researchers, the 'bonding' from the SIG dinners, the new Distinguished Fellow and 'Best Paper' Awards, and how positive it was to be able to engage with members of the Executive and our eminent keynote presenters through-out the conference. Thank you to all for your contributions, hard work, and enthusiasm and particular thanks to our outstanding conference convenors, Jan Wright and Jeanne Allen, for making this achievement possible.
On behalf of the AARE Executive I would like to wish you all a very Happy Christmas and I look forward to working together in the New Year in the interests of educational research in Australia.
