Principal Induction Conference
The Principal Induction Conference (PIC) is a core component of engagement for newly appointed, first-time and long-term relieving principals.
About the PIC
The PIC program is grounded in evidence-informed research and aims to:
- deepen principals’ understanding of their role
- support principals in meeting their accountabilities
- develop leadership capability by strengthening principals’ understanding of key Department of Education policy and procedures in leading their schools
- build collegial networks.
The 2023 Semester 1 PIC will be delivered face-to-face and run from Wednesday 1 March - Friday 3 March and the 2023 Semester 2 PIC will be from Monday 7 August - Wednesday 9 August.
Registrations for the 2023 Semester 1 PIC are open.
Who should participate?
Principals and long-term relieving principals (6 months or more) who have not previously attended a principal induction conference.
Principal Facilitators
Our world-class program provides an exciting opportunity for established principals to support the leadership development of new and emerging principal leaders while also enhancing their own knowledge and understanding. The School Leadership Institute welcomes EOIs from substantive principals interested in being a facilitator for the 3-day PIC from 1-3 March 2023. Register via Microsoft form by 5pm Friday 25 November 2022.
Participant feedback
Thank you. I really appreciated how well structured the conference was. It was right on the mark with what a new principal needs.
This was a very well thought through agenda- very comprehensive, relevant and extremely useful. Thank you to the SLI for making this happen. Very much appreciated.
Thank you for a very valuable 3 days. The learning was on point and the opportunity to connect with colleagues and reaffirm you are not alone was so important.
