Principals Retiring
We wish Principals embarking on this new stage in their lives a happy and fruitful retirement from the ‘front-line’. As school leaders, you have made an enormous contribution to primary education and to your school communities. Now it is time to plan a new course in your life, and all in IPPN wish you success, happiness and good health in whatever you choose to do.
Associate Membership for Retired Principals
Every year a number of retired Principals like to remain in contact and within ‘the loop’. Retired Principals can become Associate Members of IPPN at a greatly reduced rate of €50 per year. This will enable you to keep in touch more easily with former colleagues and to continue to receive Leadership+ and other publications. The application form for Associate Membership (Retired Principals) will be available shortly on
NAPs – Summer Course, Resources and Mentoring
Congratulations to all those who have been appointed to the role of Principal in 2010. If you have been appointed recently, or if your school is making an appointment, please contact Jackie (support3@ippn.ie) in the IPPN Support Office with contact details for the new Principal. This will enable us to provide key supports and services before the beginning of the new school year, including an online course, a resource pack, a mentor (experienced Principal to provide advice and guidance) as well as a dedicated group e-mail for NAPs, moderated by experienced Principals, 2010principals@ippn.ie.
