At Purpose Driven Education, our commitment to developing confident, capable, and values-driven school leaders is grounded in the Australian Professional Standard for Principals.
We view this Standard—along with the accompanying Leadership Profiles—as a foundational guide for effective school leadership across Australia. Whether newly appointed or seeking to grow in established roles, principals can draw on this nationally endorsed framework to bring clarity, direction, and alignment to their daily leadership decisions.
The Standard provides a shared language and a structured approach to leadership development, helping school leaders to reflect, prioritise, and act in ways that align with high-impact practice. Our resources and supports are designed to embed this framework into the regular professional rhythms of leadership work.
School Principals play a vital role in helping Aspiring and Middle Leaders thrive by guiding them toward the Middle Leaders Standards and, where relevant, the HALT standards.
With strong mentoring and support, Middle Leaders can grow in confidence, capability, and impact.
Purpose Driven Education partners with leaders at every stage of this journey—helping you mentor effectively and empowering Middle Leaders to succeed.
