About the SL-APLP
The SL-APLP is a 12-month professional learning program for aspiring principals and/or those seeking to enhance their leadership impact in their current senior leadership role.
The program is intensive, evidence-informed and action-oriented. It is for leaders who are already having an impact in schools and seek to expand their influence.
It consists of 9 leadership seminars delivered by international experts and outstanding practitioners through a blended model of face-to-face and online learning.
Participants analyse their current practice, develop new learnings and reflect on the impact of their leadership actions by leading an inquiry in their context guided by the School Leadership Institute Leadership for Learning frameworks.

Participant feedback
I have recommended it to other leaders as something where, if you're considering a principalship, it really does prepare you.
It just took me to that whole next level of really knowing that I was on the right path and having the courage to really make decisions that were student-centred.
It has given me the confidence and the toolkit to really ask those questions and drive that deep thinking which is more student-centred.
