Description
This Network is for AISWA Principals and Executive Team staff who are in the early stages of their role and/or those who come with experience, but are new to Western Australia. It is intended that you will be able to serve as a resource for one another and share questions and discoveries.
We will meet each term to share solutions to current issues and questions, whilst enjoying the collegial interaction over a light lunch.
The general format for each session will consist of:
1. A themed presentation
2. Group contextual discussions around what's working well and what requires a helping hand?
3. How to leverage one another for support.
