Schools are the nurturing grounds of curiousity and the launching pad for dreams. They are beacons of opportunity where aspirations are kindled, new thinking is ignited and potential is realised. 

While creating this reality is the responsibility of many, school leaders are the architects of change. They work tirelessly to foster the conditions that optimise the performance and wellbeing of staff and students by cultivating and maintaining a positive school culture, optimising the use of resources, instilling best practice and leading innovation and change. 

Despite their best efforts, the performance and wellbeing of many staff and students is still sub-optimal.

Why? Because the traditional education system privileges outputs and outcomes, overlooking the qualities, conditions and attributes that drive success. 

• If your students and staff lack agency, purpose or the ability to think, despite your best efforts, their success is limited and will not transfer beyond school.  
• If your students and staff lack high quality connection, impactful support or effective systems, despite your best efforts, their success will be capped. 
• If your students and staff lack awareness, acceptance or hope, despite your best efforts, any success they achieve is a dangerous illusion. 

Conversely, if your staff and students are strongly displaying and experiencing all of the drivers of success, optimal performance and wellbeing is guaranteed.
