President's Report
Belinda Hudak
VASSP President
Welcome to February and to what has already been a full and fast-paced start to the 2026 school year.
The opening weeks of Term 1 are always significant. They set the tone for culture, expectations and connection. I want to acknowledge the exceptional work you and your teams have done supporting students as they transition into new year levels, new pathways and, for many, entirely new school environments. The care, structure and intentional leadership you bring to these transitions creates the sense of belonging and stability that underpins student success.
At the same time, I recognise that this year begins amid continued change and pressure. Workforce challenges, administrative demands and evolving policy settings remain part of your daily reality. In particular, many Principals are also navigating the ongoing implementation and refinement of Disability Inclusion. While the commitment to building more inclusive and responsive systems is strongly supported, members continue to raise concerns about operational clarity, resourcing, workforce capacity and the timeliness of supports.
At our State Committee meeting last week, the strength of member voice was once again evident. The Regional Presidents play a critical role in ensuring local perspectives inform our advocacy, and I encourage you to continue using this important channel for feedback. In our discussions, it was clear that schools are at different stages in the rollout of Disability Inclusion. Some navigating early implementation, others refining established processes, reinforcing the need for flexible, context-sensitive support and clear communication from the system. Concern was also expressed regarding continuity within the Principal Support Unit following the departure of Brian Wheeler and Frank Sal, and the importance of maintaining strong, accessible support structures for school leaders.
Please be assured that VASSP continues to raise these matters directly with the Department. We are advocating for practical, school-informed adjustments that reduce administrative burden, provide greater certainty for families, and ensure principals are supported rather than stretched further by implementation challenges. Your feedback is critical in this work, and I encourage you to continue sharing your experiences with us through your engagement at your Regional meetings and reaching out to us.
In this edition of the Newsletter, you will find an updated contact for the Principal Support Unit, along with details of our professional learning opportunities specifically tailored to school leaders and their teams. We have also included information about the upcoming ASPA Summit, which promises to provide valuable national perspectives and practical insights for secondary principals. The VASSP Leadership Seminar is a cornerstone event in our calendar, providing powerful insights into contemporary leadership challenges and equipping leaders with the skills to lead with clarity, strength and purpose. I encourage you to take a few moments to review these sections and consider how they may support you and your leadership team throughout the year.
As always, VASSP stands beside you, advocating, representing and supporting. Our Field Officers and Project Services team remain available to assist with complex matters, and our professional learning offerings this year are designed to respond directly to the current context of leadership in Victorian public secondary schools.
The start of the year reminds us why we do this work. It is in the welcome assemblies, the careful timetable adjustments, the conversations with anxious families, and the quiet encouragement offered to students finding their feet that leadership is most visible. Thank you for the steadiness, compassion and professionalism you bring to your communities every day.
I look forward to connecting with many of you in coming weeks at Regional Meetings and events. Until then, please know that you are not navigating this year alone.

VCAA GUIDANCE: PUBLIC COMMENTARY AND USE OF ASSESSOR TITLES
The VCAA has issued guidance clarifying expectations for individuals employed under Ministerial Order 1451, including assessors and panel members. The guidance reinforces that current and former employees must not present themselves using VCAA titles for public or commercial purposes and must only comment on information already in the public domain. Sessions described as “Meet the Assessor” or similar are not permitted, and no implication of VCAA endorsement should be made.
EDUCATION WEB SOLUTIONS
VASSP are pleased to announce a new partnership with Education Web Solutions (EWS).
EWS are experts in school websites, photography, videos and drones.
*You may have seen their work at the VASSP Conference in 2025 or school websites such as Rowville Secondary College
We’re excited to partner with EWS and support schools in telling their stories through high-quality digital media.
TEACHER SHORTAGE IMPACT SURVEY - TERM 1
Survey link: Term 1, 2026 Teacher Shortage Impact Survey
*VASSP continues to encourage members to share how their schools are responding to staffing shortages. While staffing numbers have improved in many areas, challenges remain, particularly for regional and rural members.
This survey provides ongoing insights into the impact of staff shortages in secondary schools. The data strengthens our advocacy by highlighting the nuanced and complex realities school leaders manage each day.
OPPORTUNITIES
Call for expression of interest for new foreign arrangements
The Department of Education is seeking expressions of interest from schools interested in forming new sister school partnerships or varying existing partnerships with international counterparts. This is in line with Australia’s foreign policy objectives under Australia’s Foreign Relations (State and Territory Arrangements) Act 2020 (the Act).
Under the Act, schools submit a proposal to the Australian Government’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, through the International Education and Partnerships Division (IEPD), before negotiating and entering into written arrangements with foreign entities.
If your school is considering a new sister school partnership or want to vary an existing arrangement, please complete the School Foreign Arrangement Form and Sister School Memorandum of Understanding and email both documents to ied.stakeholder.engagement@education.vic.gov.au by 13 March 2026.
To learn more about the process, see: process maps, or read the FAQs on our website.
Have your say on work experience and other work-based learning
Is work experience for school students important? What are the main barriers to finding a placement?
Real-world learning in a workplace can be transformative for school students. But some young people have difficulty finding a placement on their own. This could be because of challenges such as disability, money, family or other issues. Some schools, students, families and carers need help to connect with employers and arrange work-based learning.
The Victorian Government is asking for views and ideas from schools, students, families and employers on how to support meaningful work experience placements and other work-based learning.
This will help improve how the School to Work program helps arrange placements for students who need support.
To share your thoughts, please complete this short survey by Tuesday 10 March 2026: engage.vic.gov.au/work-experience

Yarning about careers: A connected community approach to career exploration
Yarning about Careers, by Tracy Ryan, is a culturally responsive resource that supports young people to explore career pathways through storytelling and meaningful conversations with elders, family and community. Grounded in First Nations perspectives, it encourages students to reflect on their strengths, interests and future options in ways that honour identity, connection and culture. The activities can be used individually or as a sequence in classrooms, career programs, or community settings. Ideal for teachers, career advisors and youth workers, it offers culturally safe strategies that build confidence and agency.

ASPA Update
Before the architecture is set: what principals need from the Teaching and Learning Commission
By Andy Mison, President, Australian Secondary Principals' Association
The proposed Teaching and Learning Commission is the most significant structural reform to Australia’s national education architecture in a generation. Merging ACARA, AITSL, AERO, and Education Services Australia into a single body is not, in itself, a policy outcome. It is a design choice.
The working group established at the October 2025 Education Ministers Meeting is due to present its initial design proposal this month, alongside AITSL’s scoping report on the first review of teacher standards in 15 years (Ministers’ Media Centre, 2025). If, and once Ministers act, the architecture will be largely set for a decade or more. This is the moment to be clear about what the profession needs, not after the blueprint is locked in.

Chief Operating Officer’s Report

Chief Operating Officer
Stronger Together: Leading with Impact in 2026
As we shape our 2026 Professional Learning program, one message is clear: leadership is not sustainable as a solo act. Schools are complex organisations, and improvement requires collective effort. Our 2026 theme, Stronger Together: Leading with Impact, reflects this reality.
Our members operate within an interconnected public education system. We work alongside partner principal associations and system organisations, recognising that decisions in one context influence others. Sustainable improvement depends on leading with that interdependence in mind.
In 2026, our Professional Learning will focus on strengthening leadership at three levels.
Within schools
Strengthening principal-led leadership teams that are aligned and improvement-focused.
Across schools
Building purposeful professional networks that enable genuine shared problem solving.
Across the system
Deepening understanding of reform and strengthening cross-sector collaboration.
You will see this reflected in workshops for principals and their teams, assistant principal and middle leader development, and structured networking opportunities, drawing on the expertise of current members and our Project Officers.
Stronger Together is about leading intentionally and strengthening the profession through shared responsibility and purposeful connection.

Industry Updates
Monash University Report Released
Report Two from the Monash University project, Invisible Labour: Principals’ Emotional Labour in Volatile Times, is now available.
VASSP has supported this important research and endorses its findings. We encourage members to engage with the report and reflect on its relevance to principal wellbeing and leadership practice.
Report Two is the first in a series of thematic reports that draws predominantly on findings from a survey of public-school principals’ critical incidents to examine how emotional labour impacts principals.
In summary Australian public-school principals are deeply committed to their communities, often at great personal cost. Their emotional labour is vital yet undervalued. This report calls for a reconceptualisation of the principalship – one that acknowledges its intensified emotional demands and principals’ role as first responders. Systemic change is essential to ensure principals are supported, retained and empowered to lead schools that foster equity and social justice
Macro (National Level)
- Implement full funding of public schools across Australia to 100% of the SRS by the end of the current federal government term.
- Redress the inequality between government and non-government sectors. This extends from choice in student enrolment to the heightened accountabilities in which public-school principals are held more publicly accountable.
- Convene a national policy roundtable involving state and federal system leaders, principal associations and principal union representatives to audit policies that define and describe principal work.
- Add principals to The National Teacher Workforce Action Plan as a distinct category to recognise and respond to the distinctive nature of their role.
- Encourage Australian federal, state and territory governments to work collectively with principal associations, teacher unions and Safe Work Australia (which develops national policy relating to workplace health and safety) to ensure appropriate Workplace Health and Safety controls for physical and psychosocial workplace harms are legislated and resourced in each state and territory.
- Review and update AITSL’s Professional Standard for Principals (Principal Standard) to better reflect the diverse leadership challenges principals face and the range of skills needed.
- Research the costs of principal and teacher attrition in public schools and in particular, ‘hard to staff’ schools that are typically in highly disadvantaged communities.
- Compile proactive examples of good practice in supporting the principalship without reducing these examples to a one-size fits all, “what works” formula.
Meso (State/Territory Level)
- Review position descriptions to more accurately reflect the emotional labour of principals.
- Recognise principals as first responders.
- Ensure that all principals receive education and training in managing critical incidents, such as natural disasters, in their communities. Schools and their leaders typically form a major hub in crisis responses (particularly in regional, rural and remote communities).
- Amend state and territory principal role descriptions to incorporate a government accountability structure for principal wellbeing.
- Take responsibility for the induction, support and mentoring of principals specifically in human resourcing, governance, occupational health and safety, and resourcing and maintenance.
- Reduce the volume of principals’ work during critical incidents by decreasing lengthy bureaucracy and procedures.
- Diversify the principal workforce.
- Reconsider the equity of the staffing model for small schools and the added social complexity in large schools, particularly in low SES areas, to support principals during and after critical incidents.
- Ensure that all principals receive education and training in regard to all aspects of safety in schools for historically excluded groups: Indigenous, girls and women, people of diverse sexualities, those with disabilities, those living in poverty, African-Australians.
- Provide funding and personnel to support principals and schools to build strong school/community/caregiver partnerships – particularly crucial in highly disadvantaged communities which suffer disproportionately from high principal turnover.
- Implement flexible working arrangements as an important option for carrying out the principals’ role.
Micro (School Level)
- Provide timely and close medical and mental health support after a critical incident as well as adequate leave time.
- Offer professional respite and flexible working arrangements post-critical incidents.
- Establish and fund formal support networks for principals with other principal colleagues across systems of public schools, particularly in rural and remote areas and in schools with high levels of social disadvantage.
- Increase capacity for principals to access professional supervision at all times and not just during critical incidents.
- Provide greater support to small rural schools by rethinking regional governance.
Provide coaching and supervision focused on emotional labour and staff management.
- Establish peer support networks and access to clinical supervision for principals at all career stages.
- Invest in school-parent and community partnerships, with funded training and support, especially in disadvantaged areas.
VASSP State Committee
At the recent State Committee meeting, members discussed several current reform areas with Department representatives.
Disability & Inclusion implementation continues across schools. Members reflected on the practical aspects of delivery, including administrative processes, workforce capacity and regional variations in practice. The importance of consistent communication and clear guidance was noted as schools continue to embed the model.
PROTECT updates were also discussed. Some schools have already completed professional learning earlier in the year, and members highlighted the importance of aligning updates with school planning cycles to support efficient implementation.
Senior Secondary Reform remains an ongoing focus. Members considered the implementation requirements across VCE and vocational pathways, including curriculum adjustments and staffing considerations. The cumulative impact of concurrent reforms continues to be monitored at school level.
State Committee will continue to engage with the Department and provide feedback informed by regional group discussions and member experiences.

Ourschool Update Report
Inviting the class of 2025 to give back
Early in term one is an ideal time for a school’s new batch of year 12 students to hear advice from last year’s graduates.
Many of Ourschool’s partner schools have embedded this type of alumni engagement into their senior school timetables for the onboarding of year 12 students.
For example, Frankston High School’s alumni program recently organised for a group from the class of 2025 to return to school.
The school’s newest alumni shared how they navigated year 12, what they learned along the way, and what they would do differently now that they’ve completed their secondary education.

Super plan for the new year
By Aware Super
Here’s a five-point plan, to make this year a prosperous one for your super.
- Get help and reach out to your super fund. Speaking with experts or your super fund can help you grow your super, make better investment choices and feel more secure about your money in the future.
- Add extra money to your super when you can. You can stop and start whenever it suits and adjust how much you contribute based on your circumstances.
- Check who gets your super in the event something was to happen to you. Make sure the people you want to receive your super are listed correctly and up to date with your super fund.
- See how your super is invested. It’s worth checking whether your current mix of investment choices aligns with your stage of life, financial goals and comfort with risk.
- Combine your super accounts if you have more than one. If you have multiple super accounts, consolidating them could help you save on fees and boost your retirement savings. Before consolidating, consider if this is right for you, including the loss of any insurance cover from your other funds, the impact on your investments, and potential tax implications. You may wish to speak with a qualified financial planner before making this decision.
