What is Thriving Leaders?

Thriving Leaders is a bespoke service focused on supporting primary and secondary Catholic school principals and leaders, encouraging resilience and reflection, as they manage the demands of their community role.

The service provides the opportunity to debrief with someone who understands the nuances of working in schools.
