As part of our 2025 theme 'together we achieve', members of our middle leadership team commenced a middle leaders course through AIS to build the capacity of our middle leaders and drive positive change within our school community.
They will be coming together once a term and completing a leadership project throughout the year which they will present at the end. This initiative reflects our commitment to fostering a culture of collaboration, innovation, and continuous professional growth.






We commend their dedication to professional growth and look forward to seeing how their leadership enriches our school community as we journey with them throughout the year.
