Acting Principal and Deputy Principal Details
- Published: 20 October 2022
School leaders who will be in an acting principal role for the duration or part of the 2022/2023 school year are asked to update Jackie O’Reilly (Jackie.oreilly@ippn.ie) in the National Support Office. Jackie will provide details of the supports and services provided by IPPN to support the acting school leaders in their role.
Headstart is designed specifically to bring IPPN’s supports and services directly to newly appointed and acting school leaders during their first year. Many of them will already have registered with Misneach and received a CSL mentor. Throughout the school year, Headstart facilitated by a dedicated team of experienced principals will inform, guide and support these school leaders. A dedicated email has been set up in order to provide direct access to information, professional guidance and support during the year.
One of IPPN’s most important messages is that you can do this job, you cannot do it all and you cannot do it on your own. Headstart will deliver resources, key messages and professional guidance to make this particular challenge less onerous and help to deliver better outcomes for the children and school community served by the newly appointed school leader.
An initial communication has gone to newly appointed and acting school leaders outlining the resources and supports planned for the year. If as an acting school leader you have not received an email from the Headstart Team, please email jackie.oreilly@ippn.ie to be included in this support service.
