Principal Wellbeing
The Diocese of Ballarat recognises the significant ministry of principalship in our schools and values those who serve in this role. We are committed to work in partnership with all relevant stakeholders in Catholic Education to implement effective and sustainable models of leadership practice, where all principals are adequately resourced and supported.
