Leaders of FAITH invest in daily practices, rituals, prayer and worship that support the entire school community in:

• CULTIVATING CHARACTER through deep spiritual and personal growth     
• NURTURING GROWTH within the communities under their care
• ENABLING SERVICE by frequently choosing servant leadership and drawing daily on the example of Christ

The interconnectedness of these 3 leadership practices defines our formation as leaders, drawing our school communities around our shared mission together. 

Join us on 28 July as we explore the FAITH domain within the CSA Leadership Framework.

‘Time and again I’ve learned that faith is deeply unconvincing to adults and children if it’s not seen in action – that’s why as leaders we make space to provide rich opportunities for our whole school community to grow together in faith – not solely in knowledge, but in our lived experience of serving the wider community.   It’s always about giving first, and love in action – and that’s what we want our students to learn through what they see in the adults who teach them.’

Michelle Flood, Deputy Principal Australian Christian College, QLDSpeakers

FLAME is a network for women to support their journey into and through leadership at a school, leadership or board level. Come and join a passionate group of women on Zoom to continue to inspire, support and challenge Christian women in leadership in Christian education. If you are a male leader, you are welcome to be one of our champions by attending yourself and/or encouraging a female leader on your board or school management team to be encouraged and inspired.

The FLAME network will enable strong connections between experienced and inexperienced leaders and help identify and encourage structures that support women in leadership. If you are a male leader, you are welcome to be one of our champions by attending yourself and/or encouraging a female leader on your board or school management team to be encouraged and inspired.

“Flame is more than networking and building relationships, it’s about developing capacity of female leaders and aspiring female leaders to lead with confidence and humility to be all that God has created them to be.” – Jill Healey, National FLAME Network Facilitator, Christian Schools Australia.
