Principals of small schools (including Special Assistance Schools) find themselves dealing with unique issues such as multiple roles, leading culture and community in contexts of interwoven relationships, the need for strong financial management skills on smaller budgets, balancing the smaller scale of operations, curriculum and governance whilst maintaining high educational standards, and accessing resources. All of this needs to be done while maintaining educational standards and meeting all compliance requirements, often with little other executive support.
This program seeks to address these challenges for principals through a blended learning experience made up of 2 days face to face with several opt-in webinars. The program encourages networking between principals and also offers skill development in hard conversations, HR, leading teacher wellbeing, finance and governance, policy development, culture building, managing risk and working with a board. Program participants will learn from experienced small and special assistance school principals and AISNSW specialist presenters.
Program Dates: 27 March and 7 November
