This week I have had the pleasure of visiting both schools and fellow Principals of CPPAWA to discuss issues affecting them and our broader system. We discussed compliance and accountability issues, school leadership, quality professional learning and principal well being.

I would like to thank Peter Cutrona of St. Kieran’s, Tuart Hill and Pina Hutcheson of St Peter's, Inglewood for showing me around their schools and introducing me to their wonderful leaders, staff and students.

While in Western Australia I also had the opportunity to meet with CEWA Executive Director Debra Sayce, Deputy Director Peter Yensch and CPPA President Mark Powell.

We discussed a range of issues including strategic directions, Religious Education, Principal Wellbeing, leadership succession, initial teacher education and centralised compliance and accountability issues.
