Alumni principals can access a range of services after they complete the Strategic Leadership for Principals’ Programme. These services help accelerate implementation of their strategic plans and continue the professional development of school leaders. Principals continue to work with our highly-competent skills volunteers who can assist them in addressing their change projects, which can be one-off projects of a short duration or multi-year initiatives to implement long-term transformation.
The services offered to alumni school leaders include:
Master classes. Two master classes in the half year following the Strategic Leadership for Principals’ Programme to kick-start the implementation programmes.
Implementation check-ins. Regular sessions with a skills volunteer to do implementation planning and keep the change programme on track.
Strategic change projects. Mentoring by a volunteer Engagement Manager to support a strategic initiative, and support to access project management best practices and tools.
School transformations. We put together a team of skills volunteers to support a multi-year transformation through a number of change projects.
Project themes range widely, and include stakeholder engagement, culture change, building high-performing teams, measurement and evaluation, improving teaching efficacy and student leadership. All change projects are focused on achieving the school’s strategic goals.

Think tanks. Groups of school leaders and specialists from the corporate sector who work together to develop ideas and solutions for tackling common problems shared by schools.
Developing high-performing leadership teams.
