Follow Your Compass
31 August 2026
It’s that time of year again, when we celebrate the brilliant power of learning, no matter your age. This year’s Adult Learners Week theme is Follow Your Compass: Learning for Life.
The compass is a powerful symbol of discovery and direction. And what a fitting theme to highlight the ways in which learning can help us navigate change, build confidence and uncover new opportunities in life.
At ACE, we meet hundreds of students every year, each on their own unique learning journey. Study becomes a fulfilling way to find or follow their pathway, wherever it may lead.
Whether you have returned to study after many years, changed careers through an accredited qualification, upskilled for work, or embraced a little personal development. We celebrate every one of you who has followed your compass toward your passions and expanded your horizons.
In exciting news, this year we have one of our amazing students, Zemach, honoured as one of Adult Learners Week’s ambassadors. His story is one of many inspiring examples of the life-changing impact learning can have and we are thrilled to share his achievements.
You can meet more of our students and celebrate the many possibilities learning can create, via our Community Hub. It is truly never too late to start or continue learning, or to discover where your compass will take you.
