VASSP AP Connections Seminar

About the event

Assistant Principal is a vitally important role within a school. At the same time the role can be diverse, demanding and require diplomacy and discipline. VASSP recognises the complexity of the Assistant Principal role, and one of our key strategies to support APs is through the VASSP AP Connections Seminar.

Join us to participate in the VASSP AP Connections Seminar on Friday 22 May, 9:30am – 2:30pm at the VASSP offices (Unit 2,  13 – 21 Vale Street,  North Melbourne, VIC 3051)  

The Seminar includes sessions with expert speakers on: 

  • Session 1: VCAA: The New and Then Now
  • Session 2: Building Relational Trust and Team Capability: From Delegation to Ownership
  • Session 3: Leading with Purpose: Strategic Approaches to School Organisations  

A great opportunity to:

  • network with fellow Assistant Principals and share ideas
