Our Term 1 gathering of CSA QLD Principals and School Leaders for 2024 will be held at Freshwater Christian College to share, network, learn and pray together.
As you will see from the program, below, after sharing in staff devotions, our usual prayer and share time, and a quick walk around the campus, Matt Scott will lead a session on Strategic Planning. The regional & remote schools will have a discussion on recruitment into their schools, while the Brisbane/Moreton Bay/Sunshine Coast schools will share their approaches to graduation/awards nights. After lunch, we will have a collaborative session on Principal Wellbeing.
