What are the major challenges confronting you now and in the foreseeable future?
What do you need so that your school can do the best for our children and young people?
Principals Australia (PA) needs to determine what it can do that best helps principals and school leaders achieve outcomes that will build their schools and ensure the best for children and young people. To this end PA has commissioned a national survey of principals and school leaders to understand what impact the changing national education and schooling landscape is having on your leadership, and learning, in your schools.
All registrants will receive notice when the survey goes live in late September.
We realise that your time is precious, so as an incentive to register and take part in the survey, every 50th respondent to the survey will receive a free 12-month subscription to the full L5 at Work leadership learning online modules valued at $360.
