Leadership Programs
Marist Middle Leaders PrograM
A two-day program for teachers who hold positions of middle-leadership in Marist schools. It is an opportunity to explore and deepen their leadership capabilities within the Catholic schooling context, as well as mapping their professional and vocational growth as educators.
It draws upon the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers (APST) to build upon their understanding of teaching and leading in a Marist school.
This program is practical, future-oriented and provides spaces for ongoing reflection, learning and action. Based on the writings of St Marcellin, these interactive sessions will engage with contemporary research and practice, enabling participants to explore their sacred role within the school community.
