Background
School leaders experience, daily, the complex and frequent demands on their time, energy, and wisdom. Recent studies report school leaders are facing unprecedented pressure on their mental health and wellbeing (DE Mattews and colleagues, 2021). Mentoring ("how to survive"), coaching ("how to perform") and managerial oversight ("how to comply") have and do contribute to the effective leadership of schools, but the challenges for school leaders and their own professional development and support remain urgent and unaddressed. The role of the principal in fostering educational achievement is critical and Australian schools are facing a principal recruitment and retention crisis (Heffernan & Pierpoint, 2022).
