SACE International was proud to participate in the 2026 TISSL Conference, held in Wadduwa, Sri Lanka, bringing together more than 330 school leaders and educators from across the country under the theme Managing Change in Schools.

The annual conference provided an important platform for professional learning, collaboration, and the exchange of ideas among education leaders navigating an evolving educational landscape. Through keynote presentations, workshops, and networking opportunities, delegates explored strategies to lead innovation and support positive change within their school communities.

A highlight of the conference was a presentation by Sarah Chambers, Principal of Adelaide Botanic High School, titled Winning Hearts Before Policies. Drawing on her leadership experience, Sarah shared practical and thought-provoking insights into building trust, fostering engagement, and leading meaningful change in schools. Her session resonated strongly with delegates and sparked valuable discussion around effective educational leadership.

This year marked the second consecutive year that SACE International partnered with The International Schools of Sri Lanka (TISSL) as a Principal Sponsor. The partnership reflects a shared commitment to supporting educational excellence, professional learning, and strong connections across the international school sector in Sri Lanka.

SACE International values the opportunity to engage with school leaders, educators, and partners through events such as the TISSL Conference. As its presence in Sri Lanka continues to grow, SACE International looks forward to further strengthening its collaboration with TISSL and its member schools, supporting student success and expanding access to globally recognised education pathways.
