Life in schools at this time of year in a ‘normal’ year is nothing short of ‘hectic’. This year has been a constant flux and it has been a year of chronic disruption. We owe it to OURSELVES to ensure we get across the finish line with a spring in our step to show up at home for our family and friends in a position to enjoy their company, enjoy the festive season and importantly have the heart to rest, relax, reenergise, recalibrate and recover.

One day we will look back and share a narrative that will be hard for the audience to fathom – how school was, how it was for teachers, support staff, administrators, and Principals. What we responded to and how we operated in schools and from home. What is YOUR walk away – your highs and your lows. What did you learn about yourself? How did you grow as a leader? Who was it that walked with you?

Just this week, Adele shared with her audience the impact an educator had on her life .. whilst we know the work we do matters, be mindful your words and actions shape the future of students and staff alike. Never underestimate the power of kindness, care, wisdom and belief. YOU influence and shape the lives of others… you ignite the hopes and dreams of those you cross paths with every day.

Reflect and celebrate the BRILLIANCE of your work – your focus, resilience, energy and your absolute commitment.

T H A N K Y O U for being the difference in your school! T H A N K Y O U for magnifying your relational leadership. Y O U have so much to be proud of.
