A Leading with Integrity for Excellence – Governance for Catholic schools program was recently conducted for administrators from RI and PJP Schools.

The 2019 program was again delivered by Dr Stephen Brown, Director of The Brown Collective and followed the successful program delivered last year to participants from RI and PJP schools from across the State.

This year 20 participants came from schools and colleges in Townsville, Yeppoon, Toowoomba and Brisbane and participated in a series of face to face workshops at the CITEL Centre at Lourdes Hill College in Hawthorne.

The Leading with Integrity for Excellence (LWIE) program seeks to enhance executive leadership and develop the strategic and operational capability of participants to ensure and assure high-quality Catholic schooling delivery and positive outcomes for all stakeholders

The LWIE program comprises modules based on six elements which are core issues for school leadership.  The modules covered in the program include Governance, Ethics, Thinking Strategically, Responsible stewardship; Safety and wellbeing, and Building a culture of Performance.

Each of these modules is interrelated to the participants contemporary work, the schooling context, and Catholic identity.

Participants rated the program very highly and provided feedback for the program which they indicated inspired and challenged them through the various modules of work.

The 2019 QCEC cohort joins a growing LWIE Alumni of some 400 plus participants in leadership positions in Catholic Education from Dioceses in Brisbane, Cairns, Townsville and Rockhampton.

The Brown Collective and QCEC have commenced planning for program opportunities in 2020.
