Operationalise your refreshed strategic plan for 2026.
A 1-day, hands-on workshop open to Principals who have completed the Strategic Leadership for Principals Programme or Strategic Leadership for Rural Teaching Principals Programme and up to 3 other members of their leadership team. Each workshop accommodates lead teams from up to 6 schools.
It has been said that the best strategy is worthless if not executed well. Leaders of strategy need to establish and effectively communicate how the strategy is to be delivered year on year. This includes prioritising initiatives, understanding sequencing and dependencies, assigning responsibility for key tasks, timelines for completion and how success will be measured.
Our Annual Planning Workshop will guide you and your team through this process of drafting your annual plan, giving you the clarity you need to deliver on your strategy in the year ahead.
What you will gain:
This 5-hour session provides you and your team with the time and space out of your school to operationalise your strategic plan for 2026.
On completion of this workshop, you and your team will have:
- Established a common language for Strategic Planning
- Drafted actions for next year and assigned responsibilities and deadlines
- Ensured you have effective measures of success in place
- Drafted a roadmap of actions for next year that considers sequencing and dependencies.
Who it’s for:
This workshop is open to principals who have completed the Strategic Leadership for Principals Programme (SLPP) or Strategic Leadership for Rural Teaching Principals Programme (SLRTP) and up to 3 other members of their leadership team.
While principals may come on their own, we recommend those that can bring at least one other member of their leadership team to support the distribution of leadership capability and capacity within the school.
NB it is expected that you will come to this session with your strategic plan for 2026-2028 already drafted as this will inform your action planning. Our Refresh your Strategy workshop in Term 2 can set you up for success with this!

How it works:
Principals who have completed the Strategic Leadership for Principals Programme (SLPP) or Strategic Leadership for Rural Teaching Principals Programme (SLRTP) will be invited via email to register themselves and their team members for this workshop when they are scheduled.
Both face-to-face and virtual workshops are offered to allow access to this professional development regardless of school location.
In the face-to-face workshop up to 6 school leadership teams each seated at their own table will be guided through the session by a central facilitator who will enable cross-school learning drawing on the wisdom in the room. Each school team will also be supported by a ‘critical friend’ volunteer from outside the education sector at their table who will challenge and extend their thinking throughout as the team applies the learning to their unique context.
Virtual workshops will similarly be run by a central facilitator with plenty of break out time for school teams to work through application of the learning together off-screen.
