Principal Wellbeing

As a school principal, it is crucial to look after your own wellbeing at a time of increased stress, anxiety and feelings of personal and professional isolation. Serving your school community requires resilient, well, leaders.

‍

This suite of professional learning is designed to give principals the opportunity to learn from a diverse range of experts, connect and learn from peers and embed sustainable wellbeing practices.   In collaboration with the Resilience Institute, you will work on specific wellbeing goals within a supervised Professional Learning Circle (PLC). The PLC sessions will be facilitated by Tui Tuia Leadership Consultants and current principals who are internationally accredited coaches.

‍

This course is for primary and secondary principals from across the motu looking to improve their wellbeing within a supportive and like-minded professional community. Enrolment in this programme meets the criteria for the Principal Wellbeing Fund.
