This program will help you understand more about your role as a school leader and what strategies will help you to Flourish in that role. The program, to be delivered in Tasmania by Dr Adam Fraser, comprises two parts.
Part one involves research into the role and responsibilities of participant principals and provides individual information back to each principal on their current challenges and wellbeing.
Part two involves four full day workshops over four terms to help principals understand what they can do to enhance their wellbeing as well as be more effective in their role and develop habits that continue to foster and look after their physical and mental wellbeing in the longer term.
