NBEC Conference The 9th National Boys’ Education Conference, held at The King’s School in June, featured a dynamic range of keynote speakers and workshop presentations to support the conference theme: Strong Men, Soft Hearts & Sharp Minds. Our keynote presenters raised crucial questions about what it is to be a strong, compassionate and informed young man in contemporary society, while offering research and strategies to underpin teaching and learning aimed to achieve those outcomes. The keynotes were complemented by a range of conference workshops, many presented by King’s teachers, that focused on the themes of resilience, rigour and relationships.
