Day Two: 2025 System-Wide Strategic Professional Learning

For: Principals
Due: Now
Contact: Anna Jones (annalouise.jones@dow.catholic.edu.au)
Second notice

Link: System-Wide Strategic Professional Learning site.

Action: Leaders are to ensure they have tested the validity of their Stage 2 causal hypotheses. This will ensure accuracy of progression when moving through stages 3-5 of Collaborative Complex Problem Solving, rather than working from an inferential perspective.

The second day of collaborative professional learning will be held on Monday 11 August 2025 at St Paul’s Catholic Parish Primary School, Albion Park.

The day will continue our focus on instructional leadership and complex collaborative problem solving, and will be led again by guest facilitator Dr Jacqui Patuawa. As Day 2 activities will build on skills developed during our first session with Dr Jacqui, we strongly encourage schools to bring the same team of staff as Day 1.

Day 2 Pre-reading:

• Chapters 9, 11, and 12 of Viviane Robinson's Virtuous Educational Leadership.
• Student Centred Leadership pre-reading for Stage 3

For more information, please visit the System-Wide Strategic Professional Learning site linked above. For any inquiries, contact Anna Jones, Team Leader – Leadership and Professional Growth.
