Cementing your School Culture Through Purpose The Flourish Movement

Now, more than ever, it is critical that we look after the wellbeing and mental health of our school leaders. The Flourish Movement provides a space where leaders can take off their professional armour, sit with their colleagues, be supported and have real conversations to share their experiences and learn from each other.

Dr Adam Fraser is a peak performance researcher with a PhD in Biomedical Science. Along with Principal Bob Willetts, he will be introducing you to some of the amazing school principals that are teaching our kids and leading our schools all over Australia.

In this episode of our podcast, we delve into the remarkable story of Melissa Proctor, an incredible school leader who revolutionised the culture of her school by instilling clarity of purpose in every aspect of its operation. 

We know no one has ever gotten into education for the money and fame, they got into education for the passion of teaching, working with children and playing a crucial role in preparing our future generations for the years ahead. But all too often, and this is normal across all professions, we get caught up in the stress that comes with the job, and we start moving away from what drove us in the first place.  

Join us as we take an in-depth look at the 5 step strategy Melissa employed to ensure everyone in the school understood and embraced their roles in achieving a shared vision and how she keeps it at the very centre of everything the school does, and every decision made. 

A special thank you to the NSW Primary Principals' Association for sponsoring this project.
