Tell Me More...

There is no curriculum as such. Rather, The Principal Circle is tailored to meet the challenges that principals face. The direction of each circle is informed by the challenges you, as our members, are facing. By leveraging the collective expertise & experience within the group, you can anticipate exploring concepts such as: 

Emotional intelligence, holding people accountable, difficult conversations, leading teams and navigating change.

Once a month your Circle will get together for a 2hr Group Session. There is no obligation for you to attend every session. However, we ask that you aim for at least 75% attendance rate.

In 2024, we will gather in the weeks of: 

  • 5th February – 9th February
  • 4th March – 8th March
  • 8th April – 12th April
  • 6th May – 10th May
  • 3rd June – 7th June
  • 1st July – 5th July
  • 19th August – 23rd August
  • 16th September – 20th September
  • 14th October – 18th October
  • 18th November – 22nd November

We do not gather in the months of December or January. 

Based on what principals have told us they want, Circle Zoom sessions consist of only a small number of participants in order to ensure an immersive and valuable experience for all.

As well as addressing current issues, we dig deeper into the work of the world’s leading experts in the field of leadership who we’ve been fortunate enough to interview specifically to support you, and school leaders across Australia.  

You also have the opportunity to jump into the Hot Seat in which you can bring a challenge you’re dealing with specifically to gain insight from your Circle colleagues. 

Along with the occasional reading The Principal Circle is sure to stimulate and support you in your role.

All members of The Principal Circle have access to Dan or Tim whenever they would like to work through a specific challenge they’re facing in real time. 

Dan & Tim are able to act not only as an objective sounding board, but are also skilled in helping people achieve clarity about the next step required in overcoming their challenges.
