high quality professional learning experiences for Deputy Principals,
Assistant Principals and aspiring executive from across Metropolitan South and Regional South.
PEN is made up of:
PEN East – aligned with Bondi PPA
PEN South – aligned with Sutherland PPA
PEN West – aligned with Port Jackson PPA
- An Advisory Group which meets once per term to coordinate PEN events.
- From 2012, 4 geographic PEN groups, now aligned to PPA structure:
PEN East – aligned with Bondi PPA
PEN South – aligned with Sutherland PPA
PEN West – aligned with Port Jackson PPA
- Hence there is no longer a PEN North group because the schools have been subsumed into PEN East and PEN West.
- Teachers are able to continue attending whichever activity and/or location that suits them best.
- The PEN Conference Committee which organises the full day conference in Term 2.
- The Deputy Principals (DPs) Network which provides 4 breakfast sessions per year for DPs.
- The ASPIRE Alliance Mentoring Project which provides specific professional learning and mentoring for aspiring executive.
- The PEN Promotions Committee which devises promotional materials about PEN events and ensures the website is current.
