Some teachers have identified that their attendance at the NSW Cross-sectoral Japanese Teachers' Conference 2018 is not appearing on eTAMS. This could be due to either of the following reasons:

- read the attached instructions and follow the steps
- email darlene.knowles@det.nsw.edu.au by 17 December 2018, once you have completed the above steps.
Please ensure that your profile contains your NESA Institute number.

If you are a non-permanent (casual or temporary) DoE teacher or non-DoE teacher and have already registered on MyPL, please check that your MyPL profile contains your NESA Institute number so that it can connect to eTAMs and transfer the registered hours.

You can easily add your NESA Institute number to your profile by:
