Alternatively an article that you just think is significant enough to warrant a mention and be shared with other ANZSPED members. Key articles will go onto the ANZSPED website and do not have to pertain to the case study you are submitting
  
• As part of your acceptance to the Fellows’ School, you may be requested to review 1 – 2 pages of the ANZSPED website.

The reviewing request will come directly from the ANZSPED Website Subcommittee and/or Secretariat. The timing for this is likely to be around April – June each year.
