Catholic Education Sandhurst is committed to working in relationship with school leaders through a collaborative, faith based and service orientation approach. The formation, development, monitoring and evaluation of policy, practice and procedures in support of Principal Wellbeing honours the importance of working in relationship with school leaders. A commitment to collaboration will lead to improved working conditions for leaders, provide opportunities for continued development of leadership capacity, whilst at the same time ensure that the Principalship within a Catholic school is a role that will inspire many who possess leadership aspirations.
Principals play a significant role in the development of children and young people, ensuring they are successful learners and active citizens in their school and wider community. Principalship is a significant leadership role that generates high levels of satisfactions, while at the same time, generates high degrees of challenges, particularly as the role continues to become increasingly complex.
The Strategic Framework for Principal Wellbeing (November 2022) outlines strategic intentions in support of well-formed and developed, resilient and healthy leaders of our schools. Professional supports, collaboration and partnerships are essential in the implementation of key initiatives, processes and programs in support of Principal Wellbeing.
