Mindfulness for Principals

You are invited to register for the Mindfulness stream of the Leadership Development Program for newly-appointed, first-time Principals.

Mindfulness has been shown to increase focus, attention, awareness, empathy and compassion. It has also been proven to help reduce stress, improve sleep quality and enhance overall sense of well-being.

In this stream, participants will learn powerful mindfulness techniques and how to apply them to significantly improve their leadership capabilities.

Working with other newly-appointed, first-time Principals will help you to build a strong support network across the state.
