<p>Calling all collaborative school leaders! Exciting opportunities exist for experienced School leaders to form a new Senior Leadership Team and steward the next evolution of Mount Barker Waldorf School. Up to four new positions are available equivalent to Principal, Assistant Principal and Business Manager levels. </p><p>Our School has recently engaged with staff, students, parents, alumnae and board to discover what each stakeholder group needs from leadership and governance – now and in the future. </p><p>Based on insights gained through that process, the school is evolving towards a contemporary approach to leadership and governance that remains consistent with Waldorf pedagogy. This vision includes a leadership team that is grounded in service and stewardship: collaborative and empowering leadership that inverts the traditional school hierarchy. </p><p>In broadest terms the leadership team’s role will be to: </p><p>1. Preserve the Core </p><p>• Sustain the essence of the School’s Steiner mission, maintaining high quality pedagogy; </p><p>• Assure efficient operations and financial viability; </p><p>• Ensure government requirements are met for long term sustainability. </p><p>2. Stimulate Progress </p><p>• Catalyse continuous improvement in how Steiner Principles are applied to pedagogical practice; </p><p>• Guide the school’s strategic evolution in line with pertinent emergent insights and to assure we thrive in significant changes in the wider operating environment. </p><p>3. Lead the Transition </p><p>Serving the school’s ambition, and supported by the Board, a particular focus for the coming 3 years will be to develop a culture where: </p><p>• There is a strong sense of well-being across students and staff; </p><p>• Individuals and teams are empowered to act autonomously within clear boundaries; </p><p>• Effective management assures the school is well-resourced. </p><p>Whilst the leadership team and roles will be determined during the recruitment process, we envisage the leadership team consists of three to four roles equivalent to 3.0 – 4.0 FTE. </p><p>Does this team sound like a fit for you?
