      Schools

      Experienced, creative, and dynamic school leaders are at a premium throughout the world.

      As schools compete academically, technologically, on the sports field and in raising funds, school Principals have had to develop a greater breadth of skills. Expertise in a particular subject area is no longer sufficient.

      21st-century school leaders must be visible, informed and adept at navigating the complexities of media, technology and increasing political scrutiny.

      In addition to this, school leaders must combine vision and passion with communications and advocacy skills in order to manage a diverse community of stakeholders.

      Australia

      As the independent schools sector in Australia continues to grow, demand is increasing for outstanding leaders who can bring a compelling educational vision and the capacity to be a strong ‘CEO’ of often substantial businesses.

      The needs of every school are different and the specialists in our Schools Practice support our clients in all states of Australia and New Zealand in finding the very best Heads, and developing their senior leadership teams.
