It’s strategic planning time again!

Two years ago, we supported over 200 principals with the tools and guidance they needed to bring their school communities’ visions to life. We dedicated hundreds of hours working alongside principals and leadership teams, and facilitating Board hui to ensure meaningful and effective strategic planning. This time around, we want to empower more Principals with the skills and confidence to lead strategic change in their kura.

Join us for the strategic planning for educational leaders programme - a six-month, high-impact experience designed specifically for Principals and School leaders who want practical tools and strategic clarity to lead their kura with confidence.
