Information for aspiring principals
Kia ora and welcome to the aspiring principals landing page. The resources, news, and discussions in this section focus on helping you to understand what is required from a school’s educational leader.
Principals play a key role in developing and supporting teaching and learning in their schools, and in managing systems, staff, and students. It is a complex and challenging job, yet one that is enjoyable and rewarding.
Good preparation for being a principal is important.
