Within the Australian education environment, the New South Wales Secondary Principals’ Council (NSWSPC) is a professional body which represents Principals of government schools and colleges in New South Wales that have secondary school enrolments. These schools include government high schools, colleges, central schools, community schools (K-12) and a range of schools for specific purposes. The NSWSPC operates under a Memorandum of Understanding with the Secretary of the NSW Department of Education (DoE). This Memorandum identifies the Council’s role as being “to enhance the effectiveness of NSW public school Principals through advocacy, support, professional learning and collegial networks, which in turn will lead to improved learning outcomes for students in NSW public education”.
