Ireland & Australia - Peer-shadowing program for Principals and Deputy Principal
Applications are now open for LEAP International 2017. The program involves being matched with a similar educator from NSW (Australia); being hosted and billeted by that colleague for two-weeks (late July-early August) to participate in the LEAP international leadership program; and hosting/billeting that Australian colleague for two-weeks in September (Australian school holidays) in Ireland.
Operation Transformation
Would your school like to take part in the Operation Transformation show? OT want to hear from primary schools that are already incorporating physical activity and active breaks into their classrooms, or from schools that want to take on a challenge for 2017. You can read about their new initiative '10 at 10' below.
