Scott(2003) said of principal’s role … “ moral purpose and vision…pragmatic and politically adroit…it is a role,few outsiders appreciate for its complexity, risk, relentless uncertainty, and ambiguity at the practical day to day level”. Principals shine for young people.

Strained my calf mid-run and limped 6kms home… feels like a metaphor for the journey we have all endured this term.

@josie8343 @Deborah81714539 @CallaghanPrinc1 Well done Team Jesmond PS. One fantastic learning community!

The big question is what we call the people in the new Assistant Principal Curriculum and Instruction role. My vote is CI’s… sounds secretive yet punchy
