There is undoubtedly a need for principals and leaders new to school-based leadership to be nurtured, supported and given assistance when adjusting to leadership roles.

It is not easy to be a school leader, particularly when one considers that expectations held for schools require the consideration and melding of many expectations.

Support for Principals that leads toward the building of their confidence and assurance is both necessary and vital. Over time, countless stories, albeit anecdotal, have done the rounds on the vulnerability school leaders feel in confronting issues. They want to make the right decisions but feel there may be matters requiring consideration they have not considered or
overlooked.
