Leading from the Middle

Develops the confidence, capabilities and vision required for middle leaders to powerfully lead the learning and growth of students and staff in their area of responsibility.

Over the 5 days of the program, middle leaders experience personal growth in the inner and outer journeys of leadership and with support, apply this learning to practice in their own contexts. Their leadership learning is realised through the development and progression of a specific target that is aligned to the strategic goals of the school.

Through intentionally designed collaborative inquiry and reflection, middle leaders share responsibility and mutual accountability to the work and to each other.
