Our approach is to get to the heart of problems, co-create a way forward together and support school leaders to implement change. Read more about our services. They include:

  • culture review and strategy development

  • organisation and structure design

  • leadership cohesion and performance

  • community and stakeholder engagement.

Leading a school is never simple. Every day brings a different challenge – balancing people, priorities and pressure.

Some schools are trying to attract and retain great staff. Others are seeking better ways to engage families.

You might be navigating change, struggling to implement a strategic plan, or facing a reputational risk.

Maybe your culture feels off, and both students and staff can feel it.

Every school is different. Whatever you’re facing, we can help.

ED STATE FORUM 2025 11

We’ve worked with more than 1,000 schools, as well as various regions, departments and central functions across all systems – government, faith-based and independent. We’ve partnered with principals, stakeholders, boards, staff, students and families.

We've built connections and relationships between leadership and staff, staff and students, staff and parents and the wider community. 

What sets us apart? We understand how schools work and what it takes to lead one – our team has over 25 years working in education and includes professional educators. We also bring fresh thinking from beyond education. We know what works in other contexts such as health, corporations and not-for-profits.

Read about the impact we’ve had on Orbost Community College or another regional Victorian school.

Look at a snapshot of our work with a range of other schools.
