Description
This Network is for new AISWA Principals who are new to the role of Principal and/or those who are experienced Principals, but new to Western Australia. It is intended that you will be able to serve as a resource for one another and share questions and discoveries.
We will meet each term to discuss and share solutions to current issues and questions, and enjoy the collegial interaction over light lunch.
