Leadership development for non-teaching staff

Are you a school leader or aspiring to be a school leader? This opportunity is for non-teaching staff leaders or aspiring leaders to take the next step in their career journey.

The ‘Introduction to leadership for non-teaching staff’ workshop supports non-teaching staff to develop their leadership expertise. This workshop will also be a pre-requisite for future leadership development workshops. The workshops will be delivered for groups of current non-teaching staff leaders - school administrative managers (SAMs) and business managers (BMs). Separate sessions will also be scheduled for those who are looking to move into a leadership role in the future.

With the aim of optimising performance and development in the workplace, the workshop will focus on topics such as emotional intelligence, situational leadership, supporting performance and growth, feedback and difficult conversations.

Future programs will be advertised on Staff Noticeboard and Yammer.
