Letter from Prof Geoff Masters - CPP

Schools will recall earlier notification from AISWA (via the AISWA Bulletin and the Registration and Compliance Focus Newsletter, March 2019 edition), about the introduction of these new laws and the opportunity to access the services of R U Legal (particularly for metropolitan based schools).  Further information on this topic is available via the Intimate Image Laws FAQ document contained within this notice. Please click Here

ACER has contacted AIS’s seeking expressions of interest from principals who are engaged with the profession and the broader community of Certified Practicing Principals stakeholders; have knowledge, skills and experience to assist the Board in its duties; can provide advice on issues impacting school leaders; and can advocate for CPP Certification.
