Planning ahead…

As we know, the education sector is undergoing many changes. Understanding what these changes mean for your setting and planning a pathway forward can seem like a daunting task.

This time of year is also when, as leaders, we begin to review our journey and look ahead to the next few years from a strategic perspective.

You might be a leader in a smaller context, feeling isolated and overwhelmed by the changes, wondering how best to navigate them. Or perhaps you have a team of leaders around you, where finding uninterrupted time to think is a rarity. When speaking with a principal I work alongside, she shared how helpful our retreats over the past two years have been. These retreats allowed her and her leadership team to get off-site, into a lovely setting with great kai, and dedicate time to strategic thinking and planning, which has set them up for success. She suggested, "How about we open this up to others to join us in another context?" And so, the idea was born!

This is a personal invitation to you and your leadership team to join us for a day at the end of the year to review and craft your strategic goals, initiatives, and annual plan. I will facilitate and guide the process as you work with your leadership team, surrounded by other leaders, to analyze your data, synthesise your consultation documentation, share ideas, make connections, optimise AI to support your thinking, and leave with a draft strategic and annual plan.

It will be a day of dedicated mahi to get things done. You may also choose to stay the night before and join us for dinner. You'll be in the beautiful surroundings of Waihi Beach School, with the beach only a stone's throw away.
