Welcome to the latest issue of the PAIge!

Issue 1: February 2018

Welcome to The PAIge, your monthly update from Principals Australia Institute.

In this first edition for 2018, I’d like to wish all principals and school leaders a successful year ahead as you drive the strategies to achieve the outcomes for your school and teams.

The Certification Advisory Board has been announced and held their first meeting in Melbourne a few weeks ago. We are delighted by the highly experienced composition of this board who we will know will help drive Certification for practising principals.

We have a range of new Professional Development topics that we are running this year, including Leadership Coaching, Financial Literacy for Schools, Schools and the Law, Driving Performance and Communities First. Find out more about our Communities First offering.

Enjoy this edition of the PAIge.
